THE MAYOR'S HONOR ROLL COMMITTEE 

CITY HALL, YONKERS, N. Y. 



December 27, 1921 
Hon. William J. Wallin, 

Mayor of Yonkers, N. Y. 

Sir: In compliance with the terms of Special Ordinance No. 89, passed by the Common Council on June 22, 1920, 
the Mayor's Honor Roll Committee respectfully submits the following Report. 

The Committee was appointed "To prepare an Honor Roll of the men and women who have gone forth or who 
shall go forth hereafter from the City of Yonkers in the service of our Country in the present War." 

The Committee organized on February 19, 1918, with John C. Shotts, Past Commander of Kitching Post, Grand 
Army of the Republic, as Chairman, Miss Elizabeth M. Andrews, Secretary, and members Harry C. Adams, Rev. 
Francis T. Brown, Gaetano T. Conti, William Palmer East, Admiral P. F. Harrington, Rev. Richard 0. Hughes, 
Miss Florence J. Parsons, Mrs. Ida Shotts Pentreath, Ralph Earl Prime, Sr., Rev. Gabriel Schulman, Mrs. John C. 
Ten Eyck and Mayor William J. Wallin. 

The compilation of the Honor Roll was begun. On June 26, 1918, the Roll of 3,400 names was published, and on 
September 7, 1918, it contained 4,695 names. The work was interrupted by the illness and death, on August 26, 1919, 
of Commander Shotts. The Committee was reorganized in November, 1919, with Admiral P. F. Harrington, Chair- 
man, George S. Edie, Treasurer, Lt.-Col. Holland S. Duell, Historian, and additional members Rev. Jacob Tarshish, 
Mrs. Wells M. Sawyer, Mrs. Albert J. Squier, Mrs. Peter Fletcher, A. E. Louderback, Hon. W. F. Bleakley, W. V. 
Campbell, W. F. Haskett, Dr. R. R. Reeder, W. S. Collins, E. M. Yerks, G. H. Harmon, T. D. Carman, H. Kitzinger 
and from the American Legion Posts and Overseas Veterans, Major Azel Ames, U. S. Adler, Edward H. Cranwell, Jr., 
A. J. Kenyon, John J. Sloan, Jr., Harold Zulauf, A. G. Kleine, Ellis Monroe, Benjamin Dobrocky, Alfred Baum, Stanley 
Sutton and Francis Thomas. 

Sub-committees in charge of the various parts of the work were organized as follows: 

Committee on Women's Societies: Miss Parsons, Chairman, Mrs. Sawyer, Mrs. Squier, Mrs. Fletcher, Mrs. Ten 
Eyck, Miss Andrews and Mrs. Pentreath. 

Committee on Men's Societies: Messrs. Kenyon, Chairman, Cranwell, Sloane, Zulauf, Monroe, Adler and Dobrocky. 

Committee on Churches and Religious Societies: Messrs. Hughes, Chairman, Brown and Tarshish. 

Committee on Completion of the Honor Roll: Messrs. Ames, Chairman, Kenyon, Cranwell, Sloane, Zulauf, Adler, 
Kleine, Monroe, Dobrocky, Baum, Sutton and Thomas. 

Committee on Publication of Honor Roll: Messrs. East, Chairman, Kitsinger, Reeder, and Bleakley. 

Committee on Publicity: Messrs. Conti, Chairman, Harmon, Haskett and Carman. 

Committee on Ways and Means: Messrs. Adams, Chairman, Louderback, Bleakley, Campbell, Collins, Yerks 
and Edie. 

Executive Committee: Messrs. Harrington, Chairman, East, Adams, Edie, Duell and Ames. 

The names and service records on the Honor Roll were obtained from the Files, at White Plains, of Westchester 
County, from occasional correspondence with the Historian of the State of New York and with the War Department, 
and from the following sources in Yonkers: lists of members who ser\'ed in the War from Churches, Societies, In-

dustries, Schools, Clubs and Organizations military and civic, from the Draft Boards, Red Cross Home Service Sec- 
tion, War Camp Community Service, Mayor's Welcome Home Committee, cards inserted in the daily newspapers, a 
house to house canvass through the City, and individual reports on the forms provided by the Committee. The card 
system was used, and the cards and original records of service as reported on the forms are preserved at the City Hall. 

Through the sub-committees there were assembled reports and notes of the auxiliary work of citizens of Yonkers 
during the War. The completion of the Honor Roll was undertaken by the members of the Committee from the Yonkers 
American Legion Posts and Overseas Veterans, Azel Ames, Chairman. Under their supervision, a canvass of the City, 
to obtain the service records of Yonkers soldiers, was made by the compiler of the City Directory. The result was a 
large increase in the Honor Roll records, but there remains a deficiency in the service records, as in many other cities. 
There are now on the Honor RoU 6,909 names. About seven per cent of the total population of Yonkers entered the 
military services. 

Early in 1920 the Committee recommended a permanent memorial to the heroic dead. A design by Isidore Konti 
of Yonkers. was approved by the Municipal Art Commission, of which Rudolf Eickemeyer was Chairman and 
G. Howard Chamberlain a member. Under an authorization and appropriation by the Mayor and City Council, a 
contract was made with Mr. Konti, and the monument described elsewhere in this volume is under construction. 

Due primarily to the lack of a central ofiice of record from the beginning of the War, the assembling of the ma- 
terials of the Honor Roll volume proved to be a work of great difSculty. The Honor Roll has been compiled from the 
beginning by Mrs. Ida Shotts Pentreath, and the Committee values her long and effective labors. It is desired also to 
express appreciation of the services of the Yonkers Herald, Daily News, Statesman and of many citizens of the 
patriotic spirit which moved to action during the War all the people of Yonkers. 

The Historian had the assistance of Edgar G. Herrmann, who was one of the editors of the History of the 77 th 
Division and also of the History of the 306th Field Artillery, in which both served. 

The Honor Roll Records will be deposited with the State Historian and duplicates retained at the City Hall in 

Yonkers. 

Respectfully submitted, 

P. F. Harrington, 
Chairman.

YONKERS 



THE voyagers on board the Half Moon viewed 
in 1609 the scene of surpassing beauty in 
which the City now rests. SaiUng along the 
PaHsades they saw upon the eastern hills of the river the 
Indian village of Nappeckamack, its wigwams clustered 
about the mouth of the Neperah. 

Indian titles of the vicinity are still in use, but the 
quaint name of the City is associated with the Dutch 
pioneer who bought the land from the Indians in 1646, 
to whom was attached the courtesy title Jonkheer (Young 
Gentleman). 

The Yonkers designated the tract lying between the 
Amackassin and the Spuyten Duyvil, the Bronx and the 
Hudson, where long afterwards the City developed upon 
the Hudson, the Nepperhan, the Sprain, the Bronx and 
the Mosholu, the last-named stream known also as 
Tippett's Brook. 

With the divisions Kingsbridge, Lower Yonkers and 
Philipsburg, the township was formed in 1788, the village 
erected in 1855, and the City separated from Kings- 
bridge and incorporated in 1872, bearing the name of 
Yonkers. 

After the transfer of sovereignty, in 1664, from the 
Dutch to the English, a part of Yonkers was bought, in 
1672, by Frederick Philipse, and his lands remained the 
heritage of his family until, in 1779, Philipse Manor 
was confiscated. 

The Manor Hall in Yonkers, which still stands, was 
built in 1682, chiefly of materials imported from Holland. 
The lands of St. John's Parish were given, in 1752, by 
Frederick PhiUpse, third and last lord of the Manor, who 
supplied the money for building the church, in accord- 
ance with his father's will. His younger sister, Mary 
Philipse, described as of rare beauty and accomplish- 
ments, is of prominent note in the early annals of Yonkers. 

In 1790, there were 1,120 residents in the Yonkers 
township, and the number increased only fifty-one in 
the next ten years. English was then the chief language, 
but Dutch was still in use by many people. 

Agriculture was the principal occupation, and, as late 
as 1825, when the people numbered 1,621, there were 
hamlets only and no large village. In 1845, the popula- 
tion had increased to 2,517. The Waring Hat Manufactory 
was estabHshed in 1828, and diversity of occupations and 
trades increased with the vessels plying upon the Hudson. 
When, in 1849, trains were running upon the Hudson 



River Railroad, there ensued a movement of people to 
Yonkers in various fines of enterprise, so that upon the 
incorporation of the village, in 1855, the inhabitants 
were in number 7,554. 

The arrival in New York Bay of British forces under 
General Howe, a few days before the Declaration of 
Independence of the Colonies, the Battle of Long Island, 
the capture by the British of Fort Washington, the 
abandonment of Fort Lee, and the change of base to 
White Plains by General Washington, brought the farm- 
ers of The Yonkers into stirring conflict, marked by 
an intense hatred between the Whigs and the Tories. 

The former withdrew northward when the British 
held Yonkers; and, when the enemy finally retired, the 
colonists returned, not as tenants of the lord of the 
Manor, but as freeholders. The Tories moved with 
the British and few ever came back to Yonkers. After 
the war the confiscated Philipse Manor was divided 
and passed into possession of American patriots. 

The citizens of Yonkers have always shown an intense 
patriotic spirit and action, of which two of many inci- 
dents supply a bright illustration. When President 
Lincoln called for volunteers in April, 1861, many men 
of Yonkers responded the same day and on the ninth 
day the first organized company left the city for na- 
tional service. Ahke, on the declaration of war against 
Germany, the first organized company departed for 
service on the next day. 

The few remaining Veterans of the Grand Army of 
the Republic, men of all ranks, women in quickly formed 
groups, the school children, churches and societies were 
a part of the war for maintaining against foreign domina- 
tion the independence of our country, the safety and 
freedom of our people in their lawful movements by land 
or sea, the condemnation and defeat of the acts and 
methods of an enemy breaking and defying the rules 
and practice of international law. The issues of liberty, 
justice and humanity, for the whole world, were foremost 
in the minds of the people, but they moved also in 
continuous and most generous efforts for the reUef of 
sufferings incident to the war. 

The facihty of transportation by water brought Yonk- 
ers into the field of manufacture and e.xport and estab- 
lished the great factories which make the city a centre 



YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



of business enterprise. The Alexander Smith Carpet 
Factories, the National Sugar Refinery, the Otis Ele- 
vator Works, the Federal Sugar Refinery, the Waring 
Hat Factory and other manufacturing works lead the 
energies of a city which is growing rapidly in population, 
wealth, and the influence which attends a great produc- 
tion of national value. 

Since the Civil War, the progress of the city, particu- 
larly in manufactures, has been aided by immigration. 
A large proportion of the citizens to-day are of foreign 
birth, and another large part of foreign parentage. Those 
naturalized elements, coming from many countries, dis- 
covered, during the late war, a strong affection for the 



country of their adoption. They entered service in 
the war or were a part of all the auxiliary work of the 
community. 

How the industrial plants of the city were converted 
to the uses of the nation at war, and how the business 
of the people was quickly adjusted to active support of 
the Government are matters of record. It would be 
difficult, probably impossible, to assemble all the details 
in a complete description of the daily life and movement 
of the people of Yonkers in every line of patriotic en- 
deavor. The part taken by Yonkers people in the World 
War win always be remembered for its moral and pa- 
triotic devotion. 



YONKERS -UNITED AND ACTIVE IN WAR WORK 



IT IS the proud boast of Yonkers that its patriotic 
record stahds among the finest records of community 
activity during the World War. The citizens of 
Yonkers unfaiUngly responded to the demands of a 
great conflict. They encouraged a sane and safe spirit 
of patriotism. They showed remarkable unanimity and 
cooperation. Many citizens were brought together in 
civic work and became acquainted for the first time. 
They responded liberally to the Liberty loans and the 
various drives. With an ever-deepening spirit of hopeful- 
ness and patriotism they sent their soldiers and saUors 
forth to the conflict and gave them returning a royal 
welcome and a hearty reception. In memory of the 
heroic dead they held honorable and inspiring memorial 
services. 

The women of the city in the Red Cross, the Navy 
League and in the various organizations of the churches 
and synagogues, answered loyally to every call of duty. 
Thousands of garments and bandages and Uke supplies 
were made by them and sent to the fields of action. All 
these form an inspiring part of the history of Yonkers 
during the years 1917-1919, and they are the splendid 
monuments of a patriotic and hberty-loving city that 
under God was willing to do its part and its share for 
civilization's safety and advancement. 

Matters in detail are not treated in this but in other 
parts of this history; this is a sketch, a bird's-eye view, 
of a city, aflame with patriotic righteousness, doing its 
duty in a Great War and answering a Great Challenge 
in unmistakable words and thoughts and deeds. 

Even before the war was declared, Yonkers was pre- 
paring. The Naval Militia was being formed. Company 
G of the Tenth Regiment, N. Y. N. G., was getting 
ready, and a Volunteer Regiment of Infantry was being 
organized and trained. Before the 6th of April, 1917, 



the Red Cross work was started, offers of services to the 
President were made, and clergymen whole-heartedly 
were advocating the support of the principles of national 
righteousness and national honor. 

Patriotic services were held, local War Committees 
were formed and patriotic mass meetings in organizations 
of all kinds were occurring. On April 6, 191 7, Yonkers 
received the news of our entrance into the war, and its 
citizenry with earnest thoughts and active deeds took 
up the task of helping England and France and Italy 
and Belgium, as they fought for a world's right to justice 
and liberty. As there was apprehension of great danger 
at home, local units of Home Guards were formed to 
assist in protecting the homes and property, and even 
lives, of the people of Yonkers, if necessary. Men who 
before had never dreamed of such duty took their places 
in the ranks and felt the new thrill of being a part of a 
great venture. Even the city's children, under the guid- 
ance of the educational authorities, felt the necessity 
of doing something, and their war gardens, well tilled 
and well kept, gave evidence of their patriotic interest. 
Following these events came the war census; and the 
registration of 53,850 persons took place without any 
disorder. The 191 7 Liberty Loan with a total response 
of $1,515,450 occurred. One hundred thousand doUars 
was raised for the Red Cross. Then came the exami- 
nations before the draft boards, and one by one, amid 
the tears of atLxious relatives, the men went away to 
war. Few who felt the thriU of those days will ever for- 
get the patriotic fervor of a great city responding with 
its treasures of blood to the call of humanity. " Greater 
love than this hath no man — that a man shall lay down 
his life for his friends." 

Then followed in rapid succession the other four Lib- 
erty Loan campaigns. Red Cross drives, the work of the

clergymen, cooperating with the Salvation Army, to 
carry on war work and the four-minute talks night after 
night by the loyal four-minute men of Yonkers, bring- 
ing home in pungent, patriotic and eloquent phrases the 
needs of the hour. The Mayor's Committee then pre- 
pared to keep a permanent record of the boys in service 
and to welcome them when the war should be over. 
The educational forces offered training to drafted men 
free of charge. Religious societies opened their doors 
in welcome to the boys in service. A book drive was 
held, and various organizations having large representa- 
tions in service held drives, all of which were enthusias- 
tically responded to. The Junior Red Cross was organ- 
ized. One drive and Liberty Loan succeeded another, 
and the people never seemed to tire of giving and help- 
ing and subscribing. On April 8, 191S, a flag with 
1,800 stars, representing the men in service, was pre- 
sented to the city. Magnificent parades were held. 
Yonkers was profoundly stirred by the sinking of the 
President Lincoln, and great local personal anxiety was 
reHeved when it was found that the Yonkers boys on 
the ship were safe. During all of this time, men were 
departing for war, and the business interests of the city 
were concerned with those things that have to do with 
the carrying on of warfare. 

Little by Uttle news came of those who had made 
the supreme sacrifice, and to the glory and the fervor of 
war was added the story of its demands and sorrows. 
Yonkers had yielded without reserve of its energies, its 
time, its business and its money and now the city was 
yielding its blood, and every mail from the scenes of 
mUitary endeavors brought back the story of heroic 
sacrifice. Through all the later days of the war the 
spirit of patriotism grew brighter and brighter and every 
heart united in the prayer and wish that the war would 
soon be brought to a successful conclusion and that wars 
might cease forever. On November 11, 1918, the Armi- 
stice was signed; and the prayers of a great people were 
answered and the safety of the nations and peoples of 
the world once more assured. 



Now the boys were looking forward to coming home 
and friends and relatives were getting ready for their 
welcome. The Mayor's Committee on "Reception to 
Returning Soldiers and Sailors" took measures to ac- 
complish the purposes indicated in its name. The last 
Liberty Loan, the Victory Loan, freighted with the idea 
of helping bring the boys home, added its splendid suc- 
cess to the other drives in Yonkers. On March 3, 1919, 
Yonkers placed its Welcome Banner in Getty Square. 
A great Victory Parade, held on June 14, 1919, jubi- 
lantly marked a chapter in the city's history that had 
been filled with heartfelt duty and fervent endeavor on 
the part of the entire community. The Victory Loan 
Campaign came to an end with a quota of $2,589,000 
and a Yonkers response to that quota by raising $3,358,650. 
Then followed still other celebrations. The various or- 
ganizations, churches and clubs welcomed home their 
members again with banquet and prayer and rejoicing. 
In every ward were held exercises of welcome to the 
returning boys. Monuments and tablets in memory of 
those who died on the fields of honor were unveiled. 

On June 29, 1919, with impressive exercises, the city 
held at the State Armory a memorial in behalf of Yonk- 
ers men who died in the service of the nation, and paid 
a beautiful and heartfelt tribute to its heroic dead. 

Yonkers welcomed its boys back to the city that had 
prayed for their return and gave them employment and 
place again, a place of greater responsibility and duty 
in civic progress and improvement, because they had 
learned the lesson of the price of Uberty and the terrible 
cost of defending it, and because they had come back 
with a deeper respect for all true governments. 

And Yonkers itself, citizens all who took their part 
and did their duty in a great crisis, settled down to the 
problems of reconstruction, the problems of peace, the 
problems of continuous good government, the prob- 
lems of a progressive and patriotic city, glad of the part 
it had under God so nobly and successfully taken, in 
keeping justice and Hberty among the national watch- 
words of the world. 



WHERE YONKERS MEN FOUGHT 

AND THE UNITS OF WHICH THEY WERE A PART 

WITH THE 27th AND 77th DIVISIONS 

From the Accounts of William E. Moore, Late Captain, U.S.A., and James C. Russell, 

Late Captain, U.S.A. 

Prepared from the Official Files of the War Department 

IT WOULD be manifestly impossible to append in this volume a complete account of the operations of every unit 
with which Yonkers men served, for there were Yonkers men not only with the American forces, but with the 
Canadian and British forces, in the ambulance services as auxiHaries to the French forces, and in other de- 
tached units here and abroad. 

The great majority of Yonkers men served with the 27th and the 77th Divisions, those two gallant war units 
which so well represented New York State in the world conflict. It must be borne in mind that the stories of these 
two divisions, which follow, are just representative slices of the war experiences of all Yonkers men, wherever they 
may have served. 



THE TWENTY-SEVENTH DIVISION 



THE Twenty-seventh Division was organized in 
September, 191 7, at Camp Wadsworth, South 
Carohna, from National Guard troops of New 
York. 
The organization was as follows: 

53d Infantry Brigade: 

105th and io6th Infantry; losth Machine-gun Bat- 
talion. 

54th Infantry Brigade: 

107th and 108th Infantry; io6th Machine-gun Bat- 
talion. 

52d Artillery Brigade. 

104th and 105th (light), io6th (heavy) Field Artillery; 

io2d Trench Mortar Battery. 

104th Machine-gun Battalion. 

i02d Engineers. 

io2d Field Signal Battalion. 

Trains. 

The first unit of the division arrived in France May 7, 
1918; the last element July 12, 1918. 

For training purposes the Division (less artillery) was 
attached to British units in the Department of the 
Somme until July 3, 1918. For the same purpose the 
artillery brigade went to Camp de Souge, where it re- 
mained until August 30, 1918. It never served with the 
27th Division in France, but in the Meuse-Argonne 
offensive, September 26 to November 11, 1918. 

On July 3, 1918, the Division proceeded to Belgium 
under the British 2d Army, where, for further training, 



units were brigaded with troops of the British 19th 
Corps in the Dickebusch Lake and Scherpenberg sector 
southwest of Ypres from July 9 to August 23, 1918. 
On August 23, it reheved the British 6th Division in 
line southwest of Ypres, and participated in the Ypres- 
Lys offensive from August 31 to September 2, 1918, 
in the battle before Mt. Kemmel. On September 3, 
it was withdrawn from the line, and proceeded to the 
Beauquesne Area near Beauval. 

Late in September the 27th and 30th (North Carohna, 
South Carolina and Tennessee) Divisions were assembled 
under the Corps Command of the Second United States 
Army Corps and the Army Command of the Fourth 
British Army, General Rawlinson, and put in the sector 
fronting the Hindenburg line positions about midway 
between St. Quentin and Cambrai. 

The front which they occupied was very nearly that 
which the British had held previous to the German 
attack of March 21 and from which they had been driven 
back nearly to Amiens. The initial attack of Marshal 
Haig's British Armies was to be made on September 27, 
the day after the advance of the First American and 
Fourth French Armies on both sides of the Argonne. 

The 27 th and 30th American Divisions relieved the 
iSth and 75th British Divisions in the front line on 
September 25. The position of the Hindenburg line which 
they were to attack was about 6,000 yards long, the 
Hmits of their sector being approximately determined 
by the length of the tunnel of the Scheldt, of St. Quentin 
Canal, and it was, perhaps, more formidable than any 
other position of the Hindenburg line of like extent.

THE TWENTY-SEVENTH DIVISION 



"The portion of the Hindenburg Hne which the 27th 
and 30th Divisions were to attack had a distinctive char- 
acter which might well relate its conquest to an action 
by such an integral force as our Second Corps, attached 
to another army," says Lt. Col. Frederick Palmer. "For 
six thousand yards the St. Quentin Canal, opened in 
Napoleon's time and used until the beginning of the war, 
runs in practically a straight line north and south under 
a ridge, whose crest, from the piling of the spoils of ex- 
cavation, is almost as regular as an enormous parapet. 
The open canal being unfordable, this section, obviously 
inviting attack, was given particular attention in pre- 
paring the artificial defenses which the ground and the 
tunnel itself favored. The thickness of the earth over 
the stone arch was such that at no point had the largest 
cahber shell the shghtest chance of successful penetra- 
tion. In the tunnel, lighted by electricity, the number 
of reserves which could be accommodated was regulated 
by the extent of the wooden platforms laid across from 
wall to wall. It was said that there was room provided 
for a full division of infantry, which, while being enter- 
tained by moving pictures to while away idle hours, 
would be perfectly secure from any bombardment until 
such time as their services were required, when they had 
prompt egress to their places assigned for a crisis through 
the openings of the reverse slope of the higher irregular 
crest in front. It was a most comfortable and adaptable 
arrangement, for which the French a century ago had 
done the spading. 

"On the crest in front of the tunnel, none of the pro- 
visions in dugouts, traverses, strong points and barbed 
wire of a thoroughgoing trench system was lacking. 
In front of this crest over which the main Hindenburg 
line ran, at a distance of a thousand yards, was another 
ridge, which formed the first or outpost line. Any troops 
who took this forward line must move down an apron 
in full view of the trenches of the main system, in range 
of its machine guns and rifles, and under its observa- 
tion for the direction of artillery fire, which, of course, 
had this apron accurately plotted. Between the two 
ridges, utihzing the ravines, sunken roads and irregu- 
larities of ground, the Germans had deep communi- 
cation trenches, which, with the passages out of the 
tunnel, further connected the system with facilities for 
the swift utiHzation of their troops, in making the most 
of all the details of natural and artificial advantage of 
a position which had on its flanks the unfordable canal. 
But the defenses had not been well kept up, partly as a 
result of the deterioration of German industry in dig- 
ging and more largely because of Ludendorff's commit- 
ment to mobile warfare by his March offensive." 

It was upon these immense strongholds that the 27th 
and 30th Divisions were to deliver their attack. They 
were supported by five Australian artillery Divisions, 
totaUing 438 guns, by the 3d Australian Air Squadron, 
by parts of the 3d and 5 th Tank Brigades, the 301st 



Tank BattaUon, the only American hea\-y tank unit on the 
western front, and other tactical units of British troops, 
bringing the total up to more than 22,000. In addition, 
the 3d and 5th Austrahan Divisions were in reserve. 
On the morning of Septemberj 27, under tremendous 
bombardment, which was then opened and continued 
for two days by all the artillery of the Fourth British 
Army on the main Hindenburg positions, the io6th 
Infantry of the 27th Division attacked the enemy's 
strong points at the Knoll, Guillemont Farm, and Quenne- 
mont Farm, on the immediate front of the Division. 
The positions were captured but were found very hard 
to hold as machine guns and gunners were apparently 
fed up into them from the main canal tunnel, and 
when the iS4th Brigade, comprising the 107th and 108th 
Infantries, took over the front line that night, the Ger- 
mans were still found making vigorous resistance around 
those points. 

At 5.50 on the morning of the 29th, in the midst of a 
heavy fog, under an intense barrage of high explosive, gas 
and smoke shells and accompanied by numerous tanks, 
the attack went off and up the long open slopes toward 
the blazing German trenches and the ruins of Bellicourt 
and Bony on the canal tunnel ridge. The 27thDivision 
went in with the 108th Infantry on the right and the 
107th on the left, two battahons of each regiment in 
the front line and one in support. One battaUon of the 
io6th Infantry followed the 107th to assist in mopping 
up the Hindenburg trenches, the canal tunne land its 
north entrance, while the 105th Infantry, following still 
farther behind, was to face to the north after crossing 
the canal tunnel and protect the left flank of the Corps 
in that direction as the 117th Infantry of the 30th 
Division was to do at the other end of the tunnel. Two 
battalions of the io6th Infantry, which had suffered con- 
siderably in the attack of September 27, formed the 
Division reserve. 

The fog proved in some respects an aid and in others 
a hindrance. It concealed the attacking troops from 
the enemy and prevented the accurate fire, which, had 
the weather been clear, might very possibly have stopped 
the advance. But it also soon caused the units to lose 
direction and contact with one another, and to advance 
more slowly, and, more unfortunate still, to pass machine 
gun nests and strong points without seeing and des- 
troying them. 

Many of these places appear to have been connected 
with the canal tunnel by lateral passages and to have 
been heavily reinforced through these passages after the 
first waves of the attack had gone by. Consequently 
a Httle later when the mopping up and support arrived 
in the clearing fog they met a resistance stronger and 
more effective than had been encountered by the troops 
in advance. 

The 27th Division from the start suffered much more 
severely than the 30th. Though the front line progressed

YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



satisfactorily for some time, the troops being reported 
in both Bony and Le Catelet, the two reserve regiments 
and the 3d Austrahans following encountered violent 
machine-gun opposition upon practically the very Une 
from which the attack started. They were obliged to 
deploy and engage with all their energy in mopping up 
the machine-gun nests and tunnel entrances from which 
Hterally "oozed up" during the fighting as much, it 
was estimated, as one full German Division. 

The battaUon of the 107th Infantry, which had ad- 
vanced into Le Catelet, was completely cut off for a time 
by infiltrating Germans, while the battaHon of the io8th, 
which had occupied the Hindenburg hne south of Bony, 
retained its position only with the utmost difficulty until 
it was finally joined by the advancing Austrahans. 

It took the latter four days of hard fighting to finish 
the reduction of the Hindenburg hne south of Bony and 
the canal tunnel in this sector, and to occupy securely 
Le Catelet and Guoy, although the 27th Division had 
already lost about four thousand in the initial attack 
and had taken about fifteen hundred prisoners. The 
command of the sector passed to Major-General Gelh- 
brand of the 3d Austrahan Division shortly after mid- 
night that night, though approximately one thousand 
men of the 27th Division remained throughout the next 
day with the Austrahans and participated in their hard 
fighting. Both the 27th and the 30th Divisions now 
went back to the Peronne area for replacements, the 
former being about five thousand under strength. 

The Second American Corps returned to the front 
and reheved the Austrahan troops, the 30th Division 
only being in hne. This was just east of Montbrehain 
about four miles beyond Nauroy. By October 11 the 
30th Division had reached the Selle River. 

On the night of October 11 the 27th Division reUeved 
the 30th in the St. Souplet-Le Catelet area. The 27 th 
Division lay still for a few days while guns, supphes and 
ammunition which had been unable to keep up with the 
advance were brought up and distributed. 

On the night of October 16 the 30th Division re- 
turned to the Hne and equally divided a four thousand 
yard front with the 27th Division. At this time the com- 
bined strength of the two organizations was about fifteen 
thousand men. 

Patrols from the 27th Division established the fact 
that the enemy had on the American front five complete 
Divisions and elements of six others. It was apparent 
that the Germans mtended to offer stubborn resistance 
on the bank of the Selle. 

On the morning of October 17 m a drizzling and 
thick mist began the battle of the Selle River. The troops 
advanced under a heavy barrage. The enemy put down 
a heavy counter barrage and machine gun fire, but, 
despite the resistance and the sUppery footing on the 
wet, chalky soil, the troops waded the river, cUmbed the 
opposite bank and pushed doggedly on into the mist. 



The remaining fourteen tanks of the 301st American 
Tank Battahon crossed the river at a narrow point north 
of St. Souplet and tried to swing to the north in front 
of the 27th Division. 

Eventually, although the left of the 27 th was held 
back because of the difficulty experienced by the 25 th 
British Division in getting through the triangle of rail- 
road tracks south of Le Cateau, the front pushed over 
the ridge, capturing Molain on the right, and estabhshed 
a hne through Abre de Guise, two miles- from the jump- 
ing-ofi line, although both flanks were drawn back for 
haison with adjoining divisions. The whole advance 
was made against heavy artillery fire and several strong 
German counter attacks were repulsed during the course 
of it, for the enemy had apparently been taken some- 
what by surprise by the resumption of the attack and 
was obUged to resist strongly to cover the further with- 
drawal of its heavy artillery. 

The 27th Division attacked on the morning of October 
18, in conjunction with the 13th British Corps, and en- 
countered heavy machine gun fire from farms on the 
hiU slopes as well as repeated counter attacks supported 
by artillery. Shortly before noon the 30th Division, 
which had started later, had an obstinate fight for Ri- 
beauviUe, which was only taken finally with the assistance 
of artillery barrage. About the middle of the after- 
noon the enemy's resistance suddenly weakened and the 
whole front pushed on to the next ridge, which was within 
two miles of the Sambre Canal and the town of CatUlon 
on its western bank. 

Mazingheim, in the hills between Ribeauville and 
Catillon, was occupied by the 30th Division assisted by 
a flank attack of troops of the 27 th Division from the 
north. The 27th Division on its part during the day 
had conquered Jonc de Mer Farm and La Roux Farm, 
crossed the Jonc de Mer brook and ridge and pushed 
up nearly to the ridge just west of the St. Maurice River. 
The next day, October 19, patrols were pushed out 
toward the Sambre Canal all along the front, those of 
the 27th Division attaining the west bank of the St. 
Maurice and those of the 30th getting to the last ridge 
overlooking Catillon and the canal. 

Artillery and other preparations were now in progress 
for the next strongly organized attack to be made for 
the crossing of the Sambre Canal and River. The two 
7\inerican Divisions, however, after their long and ex- 
hausting period of service on the battle front, were not 
in condition to be used longer without a rest period, and 
they were reUeved before that attack was made, the 6th 
British Division taking over the sector of the 27 th Divi- 
sion on the night of October 21-22, as the First British 
Division had taken over that of the 30th on the previous 
night. Both Divisions went back to the vicinity of 
Amiens for rest and training and were still there, though 
daily expecting to return to the pursuit of the enemy 
when the Armistice was signed on November 11. Dur-

THE TWENTY-SEVENTH DIVISION 



ing the rest period the headquarters of the 27 th Division 
was at Corbie. 

In the battle from September 29 to October 21, in 
which one or both of the Divisions of the Second Corps 
were aknost continually engaged, the total advance of 
the Corps front had been about twenty miles, all but 
four of which had been made by the Americans. The 
27 th Division had suffered total casualties of 8,986 officers 
and men. The 30th Division lost 8,954 officers and men. 

At the conclusion of the operations Field Marshal 
Sir Douglas Haig wrote to the Commander of the Ameri- 
can Second Corps, Major General George W. Read: 

October 20, igi8. 

I wish to express to you personally and to all the 
officers and men serving under you my warm ap- 
preciation of the very valuable and gallant services 



rendered by you through the recent operations of 
the Fourth British Army. Called upon to attack 
positions of great strength held by a determined 
enemy, all ranks of the 27th and 30th Divisions 
under your command displayed an energy, cour- 
age and determination in attack which proved irre- 
sistible. It does not need me to tell you that in the 
heavy fighting of the last three weeks you have 
earned the lasting esteem and admiration of your 
British comrades in arms whose successes you have 
so nobly shared. 

On November 23 the 27th Division moved to the Le 
Mans embarkation center preparatory to its return to 
the United States. Division Headquarters sailed from 
Brest February 27, 1919, and arrived in New York 
March 6, 1919. 



THE SEVENTY-SEVENTH DIVISION 



THE 77th Division was organized in August, 
1917, at Camp Upton, New York. It was 
composed of National Army men from New 
York State and vicinity. 

Its composition was as follows: 

iS3d Infantry Brigade: 

3oSth and 306th Infantry; 305th Machine gun Bat- 
talion. 

154th Infantry Brigade: 

307th and 308th Infantry; 306th Machine gun Bat- 
talion. 

304th Machine gun Battalion. 

i52d Field Artillery Brigade: 

304th and 305th (light), 306th (heavy) Field Artillery; 

302d Trench Mortar Battery. 

302d Engineers. 

302d Field Signal Battalion. 

302d Ammunition Train, Medical, Sanitary, Veterinary 
and other trains and auxiliary units. 

The first element of the Division arrived in France 
April 12, 1918, and the last May 12. The infantry 
immediately began training with the British in the De- 
partment of Pas-de-Calais, close behind reserve lines, 
while the artillery was sent to Camp de Souge, near 
Bordeaux for a similar purpose. 

On June 19 the Division moved to the comparatively 
quiet Baccarat sector. It held this sector, which was in 
the foothills of the Vosges, in conjunction with the French 
until between the 15th and i8th of July, at which time 



the French troops were withdrawn and the 77th Divi- 
sion left to its own resources. During this period the 
Division was supported by French artillery, but near 
the middle of the month its own artillery rejoined it 
and relieved the French. 

It was while in the Vosges that a desperate daylight 
raid took place. As few prisoners had been taken, and 
as they were considered valuable for purposes of interro- 
gation. Captain Blanton B. Barrett, Company B, 307th 
Infantry, proposed to the commanding officer, Colonel 
Isaac Irwin, a plan for a daylight raid on the trenches 
opposite. Brigadier General E. M. Johnson, iS4th 
Brigade, approved the plan after conference with Cap- 
tain Barrett. 

At 2:00 P.M., June 12, Captain Barrett with a lieuten- 
ant and fifty-two enhsted men started along a path 
through the woods to the German trenches. After pro- 
ceeding to the German first line trench the patrol heard 
a shot almost immediately followed by a bugle call. 
Then there were two more shots and a fusillade from 
machine guns in all quarters. 

A report to General Headquarters tersely states, "The 
enemy was found in readiness. The raiding party put 
up a strong fight and the firing lasted twenty minutes. 
Missing (probably killed), Captain Barrett and thirty-two 
men. Wounded, one officer and fourteen enlisted men. 
Returned uninjured, six enUsted men." After the armi- 
stice. Captain Barrett's body was found in a grave with 
fifteen soldiers. 

The 77 th was relieved in this sector on August 3 and 
moved northwest to a position on the Vesle River. The 
counter offensive of July 18 had driven the enemy out 



lO 



YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



of the Marne salient and he was now making a determined 
stand, utiHzing to the utmost the natural barrier afforded 
by the Vesle and the steep hills about it. 

The Division relieved the 62d French and the 4th 
American Division on a line south of and parallel to the 
river, running from Mont Notre Dame through St. 
Thibaut and Ville-Savoye in the direction of Fismes, a 
front of approximately five kilometers. The reUef was 
effected on the night of August 11-12. 

Major General Robert Alexander succeeded Major 
General George B. Duncan in command of the Division 
on August 27. 

"At that time the Division," says General Alexander, 
"was occupying the hne of the Vesle River between 
Chateau du Diable and Bazoches. Both brigades had 
elements in the line; the iS4th Brigade occupying a 
bridgehead north of the Vesle in the vicinity of Chateau 
du Diable; the iS3d Brigade occupying a bridgehead 
north of the Vesle in the vicinity of Bazoches. 

"The feature of the terrain was such as to make these 
bridgeheads extremely difficult to hold as they were 
subjected to enemy artillery, riiie and machine gun 
fire at aU times. Notwithstanding this fact the positions 
were held in the face of the most strenuous opposition. 

"Finally on the night of September 3-4 indications 
on my front being that the enemy was in process of 
withdrawal I ordered strong patrols to be sent forward 
early in the following morning; one directed on the 
heights above Chateau du Diable and the other on the 
heights above Bazoches. Both efforts were successful 
notwithstanding serious opposition from machine, rifle 
and artillery fire, and as soon as a footing was gained on 
the heights in question the patrols were followed up by 
the remainder of the brigades from which they had been 
sent out. 

"The advance thus begun was continued, passing 
through the towns of Blanzy-les-Fismes, Dhuizel, Lon- 
gueval, Serval and Merval." 

The entire period of operation from the Vesle to the 
Aisne was characterized by continuous and effective 
artillery fire by the 15 2d Field Artillery Brigade. 

When the Division was relieved on the night of Sep- 
tember 15-16 by Italian troops its hne ran from Vieil- 
Arcy, through Villers-en-Prayeres, southeast to a point 
south of Glennes. From the Gise-Aisne sector the Di- 
vision moved to the Argonne sector and on September 
18 headquarters were estabUshed at Givry-en- Argonne. 
For the Meuse-Argonne operation the 77th Division was 
assigned to the First Corps, which was the left flank of 
the First Army. In turn the 77 th Division was assigned 
to the left flank of its corps. The hne it took over ran 
from a point north of La Harazee south and east for 
approximately seven and a haff kilometers with the 
Argonne forest directly on its front. On the left of the 
77th Division, maintaining haison with the Fourth French 
Army, were elements of the 92d (colored) Division. On 



its right was the 28th Division. Opposing the Division 
was the 2d Landwehr of the Fifth German Army, Gen- 
eral Von der Marwitz commanding. The 2d Landwehr 
had spent more than a year in the Argonne forest, where 
there had been no fighting since the unsuccessful French 
offensive of 1915, and they had managed to make them- 
selves quite comfortable in their palatial dugouts. 

Describing the difficult ground over which the 77th 
was to advance. Lieutenant Colonel Frederick Palmer 
wrote: "If the forest were stripped bare of its trees it 
would present a great ridge-hke bastion, cut by ravines, 
with irregular hills and slopes of a character which, even 
though bald, would have been formidable in defense. 
Its timber had nothing in common with the park-hke 
conception of a European forest, in which the ground 
opens between the tree trunks in fines as regular as an 
orchard. If the Argonne had been without roads, the 
Red Indians might have been as much at home in its 
depths as in the primeval Adirondacks. Underbrush 
grew as freely as in our New England or Middle States 
and the leaves had not yet begun to fall from the trees." 

The Argonne bastion was, in places, one hundred 
meters above the valley of the Aire River. The forest 
was indeed so formidable that the entire scheme of 
attack of the First American Army and the Fourth 
French Army west of it was governed by the necessity 
of forcing its defenders from it by outflanking rather 
than by direct attack. 

The only advantage to the 77th Division in attacking 
a region hitherto regarded as utterly impregnable lay 
in the fact that the flanking operations on either side 
of the forest would constantly assist in forcing their 
way forward. 

During the night of September 23-24 elements of the 
Division were placed in the second line. The artillery 
reached the new sector on the night of September 24-25 
and there went into position for contemplated attack. 

"This attack was fixed for the morning of September 
26" says Major General Alexander. "For this attack 
the Division, having assigned to it a front of about 
seven and a half kilometers, was disposed in line; all four 
infantry regiments of the division being in the front hne. 
This disposition is not at all what I would hke to have 
made but the frontage to be covered was so extensive 
that no other disposition appeared at all appropriate. 
It wiU be noted from this, however, that too great a 
proportion of the division was actually engaged at all 
times and that a disposition in depth — which is desir- 
able from every point of view — could not for the moment 
be made. 

"At 5:30 A.M. on September 26, after an artillery 
preparation of six hours, the 77th Division advanced, 
having on its right the 28th Division, U. S., and on the 
left the First French Division. There was also organized 
a Franco-American force intended to act as a combat 
haison group on our left flank for the purpose of main-

taining contact with the French. This group (368th 
Infantry, gad Division) was to have advanced in con- 
junction with the left of the 77th Division. It did not so 
advance and as a consequence the left flank of the Division 
was exposed during the whole period of the operation 
which resulted in clearing the forest of the enemy." 

Plunging directly into the forest, the 77 th Division, 
some two kilometers into the front trench systems and 
winding ravines, many of them 180 feet from floor to 
crest. The 305th Infantry took the Abri St. Louis after 
four attacks and the 306th captured the Four Zube after 
three attacks as well as an immense dump of engineer 
and light railroad material near the Barricade Pavilion. 
St. Herbert's Pav-illon was also taken, as well as ware- 
houses, barracks and light railways all through the ravine. 
The right of the 77 th Division thus got ahead some 
three kilometers. The left was well into the heart of the 
enemy trench system at dusk. 

The fierce fighting of the first day was followed by a 
period of slow and difficult advance through the woods. 
After passing the front lines, organized positions of the 
Germans were not encountered for some time, though 
every opening in the forest was enfiladed by machine 
guns and the underbrush was slashed and wired where- 
ever possible. 

When on October i and 2 the 77th Division attacked 
the German line, lying east and west through the Bois 
de Naza to the Bagatelle trench, the troops were so en- 
tangled in the mazes of the Argonne forest that they 
could hardly tell even where they were, while the effec- 
tive use of artillery was almost impossible. The bat- 
talions operating in the front line had orders to push 
ahead regardless of progress by the units on their flanks, 
but only one detachment succeeded in penetrating the 
enemy's position during the day. This detachment, con- 
sisting of the ist Battalion of the 308th Infantry, under 
Major Charles W. Whittlesey, lements of the 307th In- 
fantry under Captain McMurtry and elements of the 
306th Machine Gun BattaUon, at about 4 p.m. of the 
2d found a weak spot on the enemy's line, pushed through 
and advanced down the hillside into a deep ravine 
(Bois de la Buironne) on the woodland road that runs 
from Apremont westward across the forest to Binarville. 

The troops on the flank not being far enough in ad- 
vance, during the night the enemy filtered in along the 
ridge which Major Whittlesey's men had crossed, estab- 
lished machine guns and wired up the underbrush, thus 
connecting their own Une between the Bois de Naza and 
the Bagatelle trench and completely isolating the small 
body of Americans behind it. 

In this extremely exposed position, at the bottom of 
the ravine about 400 meters east of the old mill at 
Charlevaux, with the enemy firing at them from all sides, 
the Americans heroically stood oS their assailants for five 
days, during which period the men subsisted on the two 
days' reserve rations which they had with them, as the 



supply of foods brought over and dropped by American 
airplanes all fell within the enemy's fines. 

Fortunately the battaUon had taken along some carrier 
pigeons, and by these Major Whittlesey was able to send 
an occasional message out to the Division commander. 
As soon as the latter learned of the situation, every 
effort was devoted to breaking through the enemy's 
front and rescuing Whittlesey and his men. 

Already on the night of the 2d a reserve battalion of 
the 154th Infantry Brigade attempted to get forward 
and connect with his left flank but failed. The next 
day five attacks on the part of the iS4th Brigade were 
repulsed chiefly because of the scarcity of artillery and 
the impossibility of observing the fire effect of even 
such of it as was in position. The continued effort made 
on the 4th, 5th and 6th met with no better success. 

At length, on October 7, a point was found near a 
junction of two ravines just west of the Bois de Naza, 
through which men from the left of the 153d Brigade 
and the right of the 154th were able, by taking advantage 
of the irregularity of the ground, to infiltrate through 
the enemy's front to points in his rear from which they 
could direct reverse fire on his defensive position. 

Thus attacked, the Germans were gradually driven 
out, and at about nine o'clock that night haison was 
finaUy estabhshed with Major 'Whittlesey's troops. It 
was done none too soon for they had suffered fifty per 
cent casualties. In spite of this fact, and their state of 
exhaustion, their spirits were still unbroken as was evi- 
denced by the fact that on that morning a surrunons 
to surrender sent in by the Germans had been treated 
with contempt and the defense continued with increased 
vigor. 

"Even though the division had accompHshed nothing 
else during the course of this campaign," says Major 
General Alexander, "the exploit of Major Whittlesey 
and his detachment would be worthy of the highest 
honor." 

The operations which had resulted in the rescue of 
the "Lost Battalion" had, at the same time, broken the 
enemy's lines of defense effectively and prepared for a 
further advance along the whole Divisional front of the 
77th. 

On October 8, the Division began to emerge from the 
forest and on the nth the Aire River was reached. 

"On the afternoon of the 14th of October the 153d 
Brigade, comprising the 305th and 306th Regiments, 
after adequate artillery preparation and with artillery 
support, captured the town of St. Juvin and Cote 182 
north thereof," says Major General Alexander. "This 
operation was brilliantly carried out in the face of stub- 
born resistance. With the town, there were captured over 
five hundred prisoners, including two majors and other 
officers of subordinate rank. On the 15 th of October, 
emulating the exploit of the 153d, the 154th Brigade, 
comprising the 307th and 308th Regiments, executed 



12 



YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



an attack against Grandpre which resulted in the capture 
and occupation of that town. The Division was reUeved 
by the ySth Division during the night of October 15-16. 
Owing to some misapprehension of orders ordelay in 
execution thereof, the brigade of the 78th Division which 
was to reheve the troops of the iS4th Brigade in Grandpre 
failed to reach the position of the outposts established 
in the northern edge of the town by the 77th Division 
(iS4th Brigade) in time to make the relief thereof. This 
delay seems to have resulted in a partial reoccupation of 
the northern edge of Grandpre by the enemy." 

On the night of October 30-31 the 77 th Division re- 
Heved part of the S2d Division on a line just south of 
Champigneulle. At this time the enemy was making a 
desperate effort to withdraw his defeated troops behind 
the Meuse. The pursuit of the enemy is thus summarized 
by General Alexander: 

"October 31-November i. This Division renewed the 
attack at 5:30 a.m. in conjunction with the 80th Divi- 
sion on its right and the 78th Division on its left. The 
153d Brigade was in advance, with the 305th Infantry 
in the front line and the 306th as brigade reserve; the 
154th Brigade served as Divisional reserve. The right 
of our hne attacked Champigneulle from the east, over- 
coming stubborn resistance, and succeeded in occupy- 
ing the ridge running northeast from Champigneulle, in 
liaison with the 80th Division. The left of our Hne ad- 
vanced to 05.0-87.6 in liaison with the 78th, who were 
fighting hard to occupy the Bois des Loges. This attack 
was a flanking movement on Champigneulle with a few 
troops making a frontal attack. They were unable to 
overcome the resistance in Champigneulle and occupied 
a position at the end of the first day's attack just south 
of the town. . . . 

"November 1-2. Attack continued in same forma- 
tion. . . . The attack started on schedule time and the 
opposition in Champigneulle was overcome and before 
II o'clock our patrols entered Verpel. 

"November 2-3. During the afternoon our troops 
broke down the enemy's resistance and by i8h had 
reached the Buzancy-Haricourt-Briquenay road, having 
stripped down to rations and ammunition in order to 
maintain contact with the enemy who were retreating 
rapidly toward the Meuse. 

"November 6-7. The advance continued in the face 



of harassing fire from the enemy artillery, who were 
using 77s, 105s and in the back areas 155s. Particularly 
strong resistance was encountered . . . from entrenched 
machine-gun positions south and southeast of Rau- 
court. . . . From the woods on the right of our sector 
the enemy was able to put up a strong resistance and 
it was necessary to resort again to Indian warfare. At 
i8h our troops, following the advance guard, marched 
along the railroad and captured the important town of 
Raucourt. Haraucourt was quickly overcome and the 
resistance fell back to Angecourt. Fighting and advanc- 
ing throughout the entire night, by dawn our troops 
had occupied all towns and heights on the west of the 
Meuse and heights southeast of Sedan within the Divi- 
sional sector, with patrols pushing across the Meuse. 
The 302d Engineers, always with the advancing bat- 
tahons, reached the Meuse with the advance elements 
and constructed footbridges for the infantry to advance 
over. During this advance the 77 th Division liberated 
in the neighborhood of 10,000 to 12,000 civilians. The 
following towns within the divisional area were liberated: 
Champigneulle, Buzancy, Autrecourt, Autruche, Petit 
Remilly, Petites Armoises, Verpel, Stonne, Bar, Flaba, 
Authe, Oches, La Besace, Raucourt, Villers-devant- 
Mouzon, Remilly-Alliecourt, Pont Mangis, Thenorgues, 
Haricourt, St. Pierremont, La Berliere, Warnifaret, 
Haraucourt, Angecourt, AbUncourt." 

The 77th Division's casualties during the entire period 
of its operations were 10,497. The entire distance over 
which the Division advanced was seventy-two kilometers 
in all operations. This was the greatest distance ad- 
vanced over in actual fighting by any American chvision. 

The French reheved the 77th on November 12. The 
French, for sentimental reasons, wished to be the 
first to enter Sedan. The Division moved to the vicinity 
of St. Pierremont, reheving the 2d and 89th Divisions. 
It was in turn relieved by the 90th, on the 17th. The 
Division moved to the Les Islettes area on the 20th, 
and on the 26th started marching and entraining to the 
ninth training area, all units arriving by December 5. 
Headquarters were established at Chateau Villain. In 
February the Division moved to the Le Mans embarka- 
tion center. Headquarters sailed from Brest on April 17, 
1919, and arrived at New York April 25, the last units 
arriving toward the middle of May.

COMPANY G, loth INFANTRY, NEW YORK 
NATIONAL GUARD 

AMONG THE FIRST TO MOBILIZE — SERVED WITH HONOR HERE 
AND ABROAD — FROM YONKERS TO THE RHINE 



COMPANY G, loth Infantry, New York Na- 
tional Guard, responding to the call of the 
President, assembled in its armory, Waverly 
Street, Yonkers, July 15, 1917- The Company was 
mustered in the Federal service July 20. It left its 
home post, July 29, with Captain Albert C. Bogert, 
Second Lieutenant George D. Bragdon and 153 men 
for Madison Barracks, New York, where the Company 
was stationed for almost a month. 

A detachment of two non-commissioned officers and 
twelve men was assigned to guard the Clayton Ship- 
building Company's yards, where submarine chasers 
were being built. The Company changed station to 
Fort Porter, Buffalo, N. Y., August 26, where detach- 
ments were assigned to guarding railroad bridges at 
North Evans, Angola, Silver Creek, and the international 
bridges at Black Rock, Buffalo, and the suspension bridges 
at Niagara Falls. 

All detachments were called in October 26, and the 
Company entrained for Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, 
S. C, where it arrived October 29. The entire Regiment 
mobilized for mtensive training. Designation was changed 
to Company G, sist Pioneer Infantry, U.S.A., January 4, 
1918. The Regiment entrained for Camp Merritt, New 
Jersey July 17. July 19, it sailed from Hoboken on the 
Kroonland, arriving at Brest, France, August 6. 
Followed eight days encampment in a field near the 
famous Pontanezen Barracks. 

On August 14, the First Battalion entrained for Sexey- 
au-Forges, Toul sector, arriving August 16. It was 
billeted with the villagers until August 28, when it en- 
trained for Bautzen Barracks, Toul, where it arrived 
September 3, ready for anything. It left September 11 
for Bernecourt to take part in the St. Mihiel offensive 
of September 12-13, attached to the 42d or "Rainbow 
Division." Then followed operations in the Woevre, 
September 14-25, and in the Meuse and Moselle from 
September 26 to November 11. 

While quartered in an abandoned enemy dugout at 
Faye-en-Haye near Pont-au-Mousson, September 24 to 
October 3, repairing main roads, the Battalion was shelled 
daily by the enemy, and compelled to change position 
into Zeuvian Woods, near Essay, about fifteen kilometers 
west, where the work of rebuilding roads was continued 
until the signing of the Armistice. 



As the unit was among those designated to go into 
Germany, the march to the Rhine commenced Novem- 
ber 17. The unit arrived in Aspelt, Luxembourg, No- 
vember 23. The march continued to Guls, where the 
unit arrived December 14. This town was on the Rhine, 
near Coblenz. The Company remained there until May 
25, 1919. Company G was the first organization to ar- 
rive in town as part of the Army of Occupation. Cap- 
tain Bogert immediately set about finding comfortable 
quarters for his tired men, and assumed command of 
the town, issuing, through the Burgomeister, rules and 
regulations to be observed by the native population. 

While in the Army of Occupation, the Regunent was 
attached to the Fourth Army Corps of the Third Army, 
and was reviewed by General John J. Pershing March 17, 
1919, at Kaiserseseh, near Mayen. 

During the period at Guls, nearly all the men received 
a fourteen days' leave. Many went to Paris, ALx-le- 
Bains, Nice, England, Scotland and Ireland. 

Night schools embracing many subjects were conducted 
for the men in Coblenz. Men were also sent to Army 
Trade Schools in various parts of the A. E. F. 

The Company entrained at Coblenz for St. Nazaire 
May 26, stopping at Trier, Montagu and Malicorne. At 
the last named place, which is near Le Mans, the Regi- 
ment was again reviewed, and two ribbons were added 
to the colors by General Pershing. It arrived in St. 
Nazaire June 20, 1919. 

Seven days later, the Company sailed for Boston on 
the S.S. Mongolia, arriving July 6. It was mustered out 
of the service at Camp Upton, Long Island, July 15, 
arriving home the same day.

THE YONKERS MEN IN THE NAVY 



WHEN on April 6, 1917, the call came, many 
among the youth of Yonkers were drawn by 
the prospect of active service on the battle 
front to volunteer for service in the Navy, the Marine 
Corps and the Coast Guard. Even before the formal 
declaration of war, the trend of events had become 
so unmistakable as to lead to the formation of a Di- 
vision of Naval Militia, which was formally mustered 
into the service of the State on February 24, 1917, 
leaving the city on April 7, 1917, for training on the 
U.S.S. Granite State in New York harbor. Three months 
later these men were mustered into the Federal service, 
and in small groups or as individuals were detailed for 
duty on transports, or as armed guards on merchant ves- 
sels bearing precious cargoes through the "danger zone." 

As early as February 13, 191 7, several Yonkers families 
were made to feel what war means, when four youths 
from our city serving on the steamship Georgia were 
taken prisoners by a commerce raider and sent to 
Germany. 

Singly and in Httle groups, one after another quietly 
slipped away from home and friends to enter service 
on training ships, at naval stations, or in marine bar- 
racks, until the aggregate number far exceeded those 
who departed with their National Guard Regiments to 
become part of the vast army that was in the making. 
These voluntary enhstments helped to reduce to a mini- 
mum for a city of its size the quota summoned from 
Yonkers under the Selective Service Law. Until well 
on in the year 1918 all who entered the Naval or Marine 
service were volunteers, and the number from Yonkers 
steadily increased, until it was the rule, rather than the 
exception, for its families to have at least one represent- 
ative in active service at the front, or in the "danger 
zone." 

Many of these found in the deep sea their last resting 
place, as it was their Field of Honor, two Yonkers boys, 
brothers, being numbered among the crew of the ill-fated 
collier Cyclops whose tragic end will ever remain an 
unsolved mystery. 

Standing watch on the storm tossed waters of the 
Bay of Biscay and the Channel, convoying precious 
cargo ships and transports from the British Isles to the 
Mediterranean, and eastward to the Adriatic and Salonika, 
through nests of lurking U-boats, and in frequent battle 
with them; on similar duty in the Irish Sea, or escorting 
convoys across the Atlantic to the British Isles or to 
France; serving on army transports, on sub-chasers, in 
naval aviation, or later in the perilous work of laying 
the mine barrier across the North Sea; none of the 
varied activities of our greatly augmented naval forces 
and marine corps failed to include representatives from 
Yonkers. 



Meanwhile civilians, those whose only privdlege in 
service was to "stand and wait," particularly the women 
of Yonkers, early found opportunity for valued service 
in ministering to the needs and the comforts of the "boys 
in blue" who helped to make possible the ultimate as- 
sembling in France of the largest sea-borne army in 
history, the A. E. F., harbinger of Victory. The Yonkers 
Branch of the Navy League, formed on April 10, 1917, 
and loyally supported by the public, which on one tag- 
day contributed over $1,800 for the purchase of materials, 
forwarded to naval stations on our coast and also over- 
seas a constant stream of woolen garments knit by Yonk- 
ers women, for the comfort of our own seamen and those 
of our gallant allies. Among other indefatigable workers 
was one, a poor widow with sLx sons in service, who had 
the extreme satisfaction of sending sweaters and helmets 
to several of her own sons overseas. In this enterprise 
the Comforts Committee of the Navy League was ma- 
terially assisted by a band of Red Cross workers residing 
in South Yonkers. 

By the date of the entry of the United States into the 
war as a belligerent, operations on the high seas had 
settled down into a tireless hunt for the piratical U-boats, 
which alone could keep the seas. The Grand Fleet stood 
guard in the North Sea, effectually preventing any at- 
tempt on the part of Germany seriously to interrupt the 
lines of communication from the allied sources of supply 
to the battle fronts in France, Italy, and the Near East, 
or to gain control of the seas. Meanwhile men and 
munitions poured in a constant and ever increasing 
stream from this country to our sorely pressed allies, 
through the "danger zones," and in spite of the verboten 
edict of the Hun. The day had seemingly passed for 
spectacular meetings of capital ships in such combats 
as had characterized the earlier years of the war, but 
in aU phases of the vitaUy important work at sea, which 
so largely contributed to the final victory, our naval 
forces bore a conspicuous part. 

The incompleteness of our records, and the fact that 
men in naval service are assigned to ships as individuals 
at widely separated points, and in a great diversity of 
operations, make impossible any accurate and complete 
record of the service performed by the men of Yonkers. 
It was, however, the fate of some to participate in ex- 
ploits that reflected glory upon the Flag they served, 
and were typical of the heroic and self-sacrificing spirit 
with which all were animated who served on sea and land. 

Of the little group from Yonkers who entered service 
in the early days of the war as a division of the New York 
Naval Militia, many were assigned to duty on interned 
German vessels after their conversion into army trans- 
ports. Several of these men met with thrilling experi- 
ences as a result of torpedo attacks by enemy submarines.

THE YONKERS MEN IN THE NAVY 



IS 



On May 31, 1918, the U.S.S. President Lincoln, re- 
turning to America from France in company with three 
other vessels, had emerged in safety from what was con- 
sidered the most dangerous part of the "war zone." 
About 9 A.M. ahnost simultaneous explosions on the port 
side, at both bow and stem, followed the sighting of the 
wake of three torpedoes so close on board as to make 
escape impossible. Seven of the crew were killed by the 
explosions, and it being evident that the ship was doomed, 
her crew prepared to abandon ship and take to the boats. 
With perfect discipline the gun crews stood at their 
guns tin the decks were awash, while the remainder of 
the ship's company lowered the boats and life rafts as 
if on exhibition drill. One of the rafts, bearing sixteen 
men, was drawn into the hole in the ship's side and went 
down with her, making twenty-six in all who perished. 

The remaining vessels of the convoy, in accordance 
with regulations, steamed as rapidly as possible from the 
scene of attack, leaving the survivors of the crew of the 
stricken ship wholly at the mercy of the German sub- 
marines, one of which remained in the vicinity for several 
hours and finally disappeared, taking with her as a 
prisoner one of the officers. Lieutenant Isaacs. For his 
heroism on the occasion of the sinking, and in subsequently 
making his escape from prison with invaluable informa- 
tion, this officer was decorated with the Congressional 
Medal of Honor. After drifting in the open ocean for 
over eighteen hours in boats and on rafts, the survivors 
were rescued and taken back to Brest by the American 
destroyers Warrington and Smith. Among the survivors 
were seventeen boys from Yonkers, who reached home 
safely on furlough on June 13. 

The Navy Department concludes its official report of 
the sinking of the Prestdent Lincoln with these words: 
"The conduct of the men during this time of grave danger 
was thrilhng and inspiring, as a large percentage of them 
were young boys, who had only been in the Navy for a 
few months. This is another e.xample of the innate 
courage and bravery of the young manhood of America." 

On the morning of September 5, 1918, army transports 
U.S.S. Mount Vernon and Agamemnon in convoy, es- 
corted by six destroyers, were homeward bound in smooth 
seas about 250 miles from the coast of France. Suddenly 
a periscope appeared above the surface about 500 yards 
distant and, drawing the instant fire of the Mount Ver- 
non, at once disappeared. Almost simultaneously the 
wake of a torpedo was observed making straight for the 
ship, and too close at hand to be avoided. A terrific 
e.xplosion made it clear that serious, if not fatal, injury 
had been inflicted. Striking fairly amidships, the torpedo 
had destroyed four of the eight boiler rooms and flooded 
the middle section of the ship from side to side for a 
length of 150 feet. A barrage of depth bombs was in- 
stantly dropped and the gun crews stood ready at their 
guns waiting for the expected reappearance of the enemy, 
and to guard against a second attack. Subsequent 



examination showed that the remaining bulkheads were 
intact, and if they held the ship would remain afloat 
and could make port under her own steam. The sacri- 
fice of thirty-sLx men (the entire engine room watch in 
the destroyed compartments), who cheerfully cooperated 
in maintaining navy regulations of keeping water-tight 
doors hermetically closed while at sea (thus tending to 
localize the eSects of injury from submarine attacks, al- 
though it ensured the drowning Uke rats of the entire 
watch in each damaged compartment), alone saved the 
ship, the remainder of the ship's company, and about 
150 wounded soldiers who were on their way home from 
the western battle front. Several men from Yonkers 
met with this thrilling adventure, as members of the 
crews of both the Mount Vernon and the Agamemnon, 
and it was merely one of the chances of war that some 
of them were not included among the heroic thirty-sLx 
whose sacrifice saved the ship. 

Sailing in August, 1917, for duty in the "danger zone," 
two of the smallest vessels in foreign service, the U.S.S. 
Seneca and U.S.S. Ossipce, numbered among their crews 
several men of Yonkers, who were destined to experience 
most arduous and perilous service in convoy and patrol 
duty. Both vessels were based on Gibraltar, and during 
a period of fifteen months escorted safely through sub- 
marine infested waters hundreds of valuable cargo ships 
from the British Isles to the Mediterranean, and east- 
ward to Italy. Frequently in combat with U-boats which 
had attacked their convoj^s, both of these vessels made 
an extraordinary record for efficiency. The loss in the 
Bristol Channel of their sister ship, the Tampa, with 
all on board, constituted the heaviest single casualty 
sustained by our naval forces during the war. Services 
rendered by the officers and crew of the Seneca on convoy 
duty, and their intrepidity on two occasions in effecting 
rescues in the face of the enemy of survivors from the 
torpedoed British steamers Cowslip and Queen, were the 
subject of special citations by the British Admiralty, an 
honor that fell to the lot of no other single ship. 

The gallant conduct of a volunteer crew from the 
Seneca on the occasion of the torpedoing on September 16, 
1918, of the British steamship Wellington, was also the 
subject of special citation by the British Admiralty and 
the Navy Department, and reflected great credit upon 
the service. The following quotation is a brief extract 
from an official report to the Navy Department by the 
commander of U.S.S. Warrington in this connection: 

"The Wellington, carrying coal to Gibraltar, left Mil- 
ford Haven with a convoy of about twenty ships in the 
morning of Friday, September 13. Sunday night the 
escort of British destroyers left, and the convoy pro- 
ceeded under ocean escort of U.S.S. Seneca. On the 
morning of September 16, the Wellington sighted a sub- 
marine and immediately afterward was struck by a tor- 
pedo forward, and the forehold was quickly flooded. Her 
crew abandoned the ship and were picked up by U.S.S.

YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



Seneca. First Lieutenant Brown of the Seneca aslced 
and obtained permission to man the Wellington with a 
volunteer crew and endeavor to bring her into port. A 
large number of the Seneca's crew volunteered, and 
eighteen men were chosen. At the same time the master 
of the Wellington, the first and second mates, and ten 
of her original crew volunteered to return to their ship 
with the Seneca's men. Unfortunately one of the life- 
boats had been cast adrift, which left the volunteer crew 
with but one lifeboat, two jolly boats, and two life rafts 
which Lieutenant Brown had constructed on board. An 
S. O. S. was picked up by the Warrington, operating 
with a westbound convoy to the south, but the torpedoed 
ship was not reached until about 3 :oo a.m. In the mean- 
while a radio from the stricken ship stated that she had 
stopped, but would go ahead again when the wind mod- 
erated. There was a strong gale from the southeast and 
the sea was rough. Shortly after the Wellington was 
reached a bulkhead collapsed, and she signaled for im- 
mediate assistance, and said her crew were abandoning 
ship. Immediately afterward we picked up her lifeboat 
containing first and second mates of Wellington, five of 
her original crew, and one of the Seneca s volunteer 
crew. We learned afterward that Wellington's remaining 
boats had been smashed in lowering, and that their life 
rafts had fouled and could not be gotten clear of the 
ship. Accordingly, aU the remaining men went down 
with the ship, or jumped just before she sank. It was 
very distressing not to be able to do anything at that 
moment for the men in the water. Our life rafts and 



buoys were there, with plenty of calcium torches, but 
we absolutely could not get a boat in 'the water. When 
dawn finally broke, we began to see men in the water, 
some on our rafts and buoys, some on pieces of floating 
wreckage. Maneuvering amidst the wreckage, life rafts, 
and buoys, we finally picked up eight men out of 
the water, one of whom died on board. We had 
been able to save only half of the entire crew, but 
careful search for four hours failed to locate any more 
survivors." 

Included among the ten volunteers from the Seneca 
who so heroically made the supreme sacrifice was one 
from Yonkers. To all of the Setieca's volunteers on this 
occasion, the living and the dead, the Navy Cross with 
Citation was awarded by the President. 

The naval statistics at hand are not as full and com- 
plete as the Committee would have them be and have 
used the utmost effort to make them. Enough is known, 
however, to justify the following brief summary: total 
number of men in Navy and Coast Guard service, 1,233; 
in Marine Corps, 71; aggregating 1,304; of whom 12 
laid down their lives for God and country. 

Of the foregoing 222 were detailed to transport and 
convoy duty; SS to naval aviation and bombing; 3 to 
submarine duty overseas; 27 served overseas on sub- 
marine chasers and Eagle boats; and 19 were engaged 
in mining the North Sea and Adriatic, and in mine 
sweeping. Of those in the Marine Corps 14 saw service 
on the western battle front, of whom 5 were casualties, 
2 being killed in action. 



THE VETERANS' ORGANIZATIONS OF YONKERS 



DURING the winter after the signing of the 
armistice a conference of representatives of 
the various military units in the American 
Expeditionary Force was called at Paris for the purpose 
of forming an organization of veterans of the United 
States Military and Naval forces in the World War. At 
this conference the American Legion was formed and at 
later meetings its organization was perfected. Its mem- 
bership is open only to men and women who were actually 
in the United States Army, Navy or Marine Corps during 
the war. 

The chief objects of the American Legion are briefly 
these: to uphold and defend the Constitution of the 
United States and to maintain law and order; to roster 
100 per cent Americanism; to preserve and renew the 
friendships and associations formed in the Great War 
and to safeguard and transmit to posterity, justice, 
freedom and democracy. 

The first Post to be formed in Yonkers was the Yonkers 



Post No. 7, organized in the early spring of 191 9. The 
next was the Cook Post, which is named after Henry 
Gilbert Cook and George Frederic Cook, two brothers, 
of Yonkers, who lost their lives in the war. 

Then came the Alan F. Waite Post No. 299, named 
in honor of Captain Alan F. Waite of Yonkers, who was 
killed in action during the Meuse-Argonne offensive. 

The Bodenstab-Thomas Post is named after Lieuten- 
ant Wihner Bodenstab and Lieutenant Otis Thomas, 
both of Yonkers, who were killed in action. 

The Crescent Post is largely, although not exclusively, 
composed of members of the Crescent Club. 

The Overseas Veterans, Inc., is an organization made 
up exclusively of veterans who served overseas, and is a 
purely local organization. 

There are also the two national organizations of the 
Veterans of Foreign Wars with the Crusaders Post 
No. 353 and Samuel Dow Post No. 369 located in 
Yonkers, and the Society of Army and Navy Veterans.

THE VETERANS' ORGANIZATIONS OF YONKERS 



17 



These organizations include veterans of other wars in 
addition to the World War. 

October 4, 1920, these veterans' organizations formed 
a Central Committee for the City of Yonkers which 
deals with matters pertaining to the veterans in general. 
The activities of these organizations acting through 
the Central have included the giving of advice and assist- 
ance to veterans in the matters of insurance, government 
compensation and vocational training; conducting mili- 
tary funerals for those who died in France and were 
brought back to this country; helping needy veterans 
and their families; assisting in the various patriotic 
ceremonies on hoUdays, etc.; carrying on Americaniza- 
tion work and various social functions — dances, min- 
strel shows, clambakes and excursions. The American 
Legion Posts conduct a bowling league during the winter 
months which has been very successful from a social 
viewpoint. 

Up to the time of the printing of this book the veterans 
have been somewhat handicapped by the lack of a suitable 
building for use as a clubhouse and meeting. The Armory, 
Young Men's Christian Association building, and vari- 
ous rented rooms and halls are being used at present. 

There is no doubt that these organizations constitute 
a great power for good in the community. They are 
organized and ready in case of any emergency or crisis. 
The work of Americanization, the fostering of a patriotic 
spirit in the youth of the country, and the cherishing of 
the splendid traditions and ideals of the services of the 
United States will be of inestimable value to the country, 
and these things will be carried on as long as the veter- 
ans' organizations of the Great War continue to exist. 



KITCHING POST NO. 60, GRAND ARMY 
OF THE REPUBLIC 

Cooperated with Spanish War Veterans to Form 
Yonkers Regiment 

On February 5, 1917, Kitching Post No. 60, G. A. R., 
adopted the following resolution: 

"We endorse the position taken by President Wilson, 
in this, the hour of our country's crisis. It behooves us 
to take some action whereby we may go on record to 
offer our services to the General Government in any 
capacity which we old veterans of the Civil War are 
still capable of filling. Wherefore, resolved, that Kitch- 



ing Post No. 60, Department of New York, G. A. R., do, 
and hereby ofler their services to the General Govern- 
ment to serve in any capacity to which they may be as- 
signed, by doing such lighter duties which they are still 
able to perform, such as occupying forts or armories, or 
performing other minor duties, thereby releasing men who 
are liable to be called upon for regular service." 

The Post appropriated ten dollars on March 19 of the 
same year, to start the fund to form the First Yonkers 
Regiment. To this end, there were appointed four men 
of Kitching Post and four from the Spanish American 
War Veterans. 

About 600 men were enrolled in the Regiment. Drills 
were held in McCann's and other halls, on Shonts Field, 
near North Yonkers. When war was declared, nearly 
aU the men in the Regiment went into the service. Cap- 
tain Stilwell of West Point was in charge. 

On February 4, 1918, the Post appointed a committee 
to see the Mayor, relative to having a flag pole erected 
on the drill field. The Post always provided small flags 
for departing contingents of service men, and furnished 
them an escort of honor from the City Hall to the point 
of entrainment. On February 18 St. Joseph's Church 
invited the Post to be present at a service flag raising 
at the church. The Post attended on that occasion 
February 22, and fired a volley. 

During the Fourth of July celebration of 1918, the Post 
marched in parade, and acted as Guard of Honor at the 
grandstand. 

A most important phase of the Post's war activities 
was the furnishing of flowers and flag markers for the 
graves of World War veterans during the Memorial Days 
of 1917 and 1918. This work has been continued to the 
present. 

Officers of the Post During the War: Augustus Kipp, 
Commander; John J. Kronin, 6". V. Commander; Fred 
Gugel, /. V . Commaiider; Edward J. Mitchell, Adjutant; 
George W. Chamberlain, Quartermaster; Thomas Olivier, 
Surgeon; John H. Rein, Officer of the Day; Austin Tiel, 
Officer of the Guard; George A. Mitchell, Quartermaster 
Sergeant; Jere S. Clark, Sergeant Major; John F. Brower, 
Patriotic Instructor.

REPORT OF THE YONKERS MAYOR'S COMMITTEE ON 
RECEPTION OF RETURNING SOLDIERS AND SAILORS 



Hon. William J. Wallin Mayor of Yonkers: 

Sir, on behalf of the Yonkers Mayor's Committee on 
Reception of Returning Soldiers and Sailors, I beg re- 
spectfully to present this report of organization and 
activities. 

Your appointment of Chairman was made in pursuance 
of conference requested under date of November 20, 1918. 
In accord with your views a Committee of more than 
two hundred was named from the citizens of Yonkers 
and a call was issued by the Mayor for a meeting of 
that Committee in the Court Room, City Hall, Yonkers, 
on the evening of December 23, 1918. 

In response to the call a goodly and enthusiastic gath- 
ering of representative citizens convened, and the pur- 
poses of the Committee were outlined by yourself. 

It will always be a matter of gratification to me to 
reflect upon the whole-hearted and resourceful assistance 
which was rendered by those assembled in organizing 
and mapping out the scope of activities of the Committee. 

We were able to announce at the close of the meeting 
the following program of action: 

1. To have a letter of welcome prepared and sent 
to each one of the returning soldiers on their 
registration at the Red Cross. 

2. Arrangements for proper entertainments and, 
perhaps, banquets once a month by the full Com- 
mittee to the boys, in the Armory or some other 
special place to be designated. 

3. A special Memorial Service to be prepared for 
the Yonkers boys who lost their lives in this War, 
from whatever cause, during their service. 

4. The arrangement of a pageant for all the boys as 
a glorious climax of the City's welcome at a 
time when aU have returned to Yonkers, at which 
time a special medal or parchment shall be pre- 
sented to each and every man that it may be a 
keepsake to pass on to his children, and to prove 
that Yonkers has shown its appreciation to the 
boys and their service. 

It was gratifying to all to have an announcement 
made that the expenses of the Committee would be met 
from a fund in the hands of the Mayor. 

In a manner which will always reflect credit to the 
members of the committees they organized their work 
with pleasing promptness and satisfactory results. 

The needed cooperation of all the Yonkers newspapers 
was readily and beneficially extended, and I take this 
occasion to record the appreciation of your Committee. 

The program of action as originally adopted (and as 
herein recorded) was followed with exactness and was 



productive of good results. I file herewith a copy of the 
Certificate of Welcome dehvered to thousands of the re- 
turned boys. I also file herewith copy of the Memorial 
Certificate delivered to the nearest of kin of those boys 
who lost their lives in the service. I also file literature 
used by the Committee in its work incident to the issu- 
ing of these certificates. 

The Committee on Pageant and Parade arranged a 
series of events for June 14, 1919, which were carried to 
a conclusion to the great credit of the City and have been 
referred to as the most successful in the history of the 
City. A detailed report by the Chairman accompanies 
this report. 

The Committee on Memorial Ceremonies conducted a 
meeting at the Armory on Sunday, June 29, 1919, in a 
manner which will long be remembered. More than 
two thousand persons assembled in solemn tribute to 
the men who died in the service of their country in 
the World War. A program of these ceremonies and 
report of Committee is furnished as part of this report. 

Under the direction of Committee on Entertainment 
citizens of Yonkers met in the Armory with several 
hundred of the boys who had returned from service 
and enjoyed an evening of entertainment which was 
voted by all a most enjoyable affair. The occasion of 
this entertainment was to celebrate Armistice Day (No- 
vember II, 1919) and to complete the activities for 
which the Committee was created. 

I take occasion to express my thanks and appreciation 
for the generous assistance which was given by aU other 
committees engaged in furnishing the necessary col- 
lateral support to the main functions. Reports of various 
committees are attached to this report; also a file of 
Hterature used in the work of the Committee. 

I recognize the incompleteness with which any report 
must deal with the assistance so unselfishly rendered by 
many of the members of the Committee. Men and 
women prominent in the activities of the War, and in 
the life of Yonkers gave unsparingly of their time and 
talents to make the functions of the Committee a success. 

The officers and members of the Committee count the 
opportunity they had to be of service to the City of 
Yonkers a privilege for which they are thankful, and 
are hopeful that their efforts have served to record the 
City as duly appreciative of the great service rendered 
by its boys in assisting their comrades to bring to a 
conclusion a conflict which we trust will mean a better 
Country and a more livable World. 
Respectfully, 

Edwin Stanton George, 
Chairman.

WHAT YONKERS CITIZENS DID AT HOME WHILE 
THE CITY'S SONS WERE AT WAR 



YONKERS OVER-SUBSCRIBED EVERY 
DRIVE QUOTA 

IN THE various war drives to which all loyal citizens 
of the United States enthusiastically subscribed, 
Yonkers furnished a total of $19,255,225. Of this 
amount $18,680,450 was subscribed for the five Liberty 
Loans and the War Savings Stamps Campaign, while 
the other $564,775 was raised in the remaining major 
drives of the war period. 

The citizens of Yonkers subscribed individually, and 
by organizations representing all classes of civic, religious, 
commercial and industrial bodies. The number of sub- 
scribers to the Fourth Liberty Loan in September, 1918, 
was 26,730, which indicates the loyal interest displayed. 

There were, before our country entered the war, any 
number of smaller campaigns for various welfare activi- 
ties. Among them was the Y. M. C. A. drive, in which 
$25,000 was raised; the War Camp Community Service, 
$3,500; the Salvation Army Campaign in which $2,000 
was raised; and the Y. M. C. A., $2,500. These moneys, 
totalling $33,000, were raised without the assistance of 
the organized and widespread publicity that attended 
the major campaigns.

THE INNER LINE OF DEFENSE 

THE FOUR MINUTE MEN OF THE CITY 
OF YONKERS 

The Yonkers Four Minute Men were organized in 
November, 1917, the time of the Second Liberty Loan 
drive. This movement originated in Chicago at the 
outbreak of the war, and was made national in charac- 
ter, as an auxiliary to the United States Committee on 
National Safety. 

The activities were promoted by the Subcommittee 
on Public Information appointed by the President. 
Nearly every state in the Union organized a central 
body with headquarters to promote Minute Men organi- 
zations. The state worked through various county or- 
ganizations and thus the Yonkers group became a sub- 
division of the Westchester County Committee on Public 
Safety. 

The duty of the Four Minute Men was to make known 
to the citizens and the populace the causes of the war, 
and the needs of the country to prosecute it; to arouse 
patriotism, to aid by public utterances and addresses all 
movements that supported the cause of freedom and 
righteousness; and to stamp out sedition and disloyalty 
to the United States. The addresses were not to exceed 
four minutes unless specially arranged. 

There were but seven men to begin with this impor- 
tant work in Yonkers. Later, this number was increased 
until the band numbered close to sixty. 

Those selected represented the business man, the 
lawyer, the doctor and the clergy, irrespective of politics

YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



or religion. During the war, social and business meetings 
were held monthly, and oftener as occasion required. 
The information was received in pamphlet form from 
the Bureau of Information in Washington, and distributed 
through the local chairman semi-weekly. The list of 
topics included: 

Universal Service by Selective Draft, First Liberty 
Loan, Food Consen>'ation, Red Cross, Organization, Why 
We Are Fighting, The Nation in Arms, The Importance 
of Speed, What Our Enemy ReaUy Is, Unmasking Ger- 
man Propaganda, Onward to Victory, Second Liberty 
Loan, Maintaining Morals and Morale, Carrying the 
Message, War Savings Stamps, The Shipbuilder, Eyes 
for the Navy, The Danger to Democracy, Lincoln's 
Gettysburg Address, The Income Tax, Farm and Garden, 
President Wilson's Letter to Theatres, Third Libertj' 
Loan, Second Red Cross Campaign, Second War Savings 
Campaign, The Meaning of America, Mobilizing America's 
Man Power, Where Did You Get Your Facts? Certifi- 
cates to Theatre Members, Register, Four Minute Sing- 
ing, Fourth Liberty Loan, Food Program for 1919, Fire 
Prevention, United War Work Campaign, Red Cross 
Home Service, What Have We Won? Red Cross Christ- 
mas Roll CaU, A Tribute to the AUies. 

The work of the chairman also included the distribu- 
tion of literature on the war and war work, to the entire 
clergy of the city, to the Sunday School superintendents, 
to the fraternal bodies and civic organizations. 

The speakers were assigned to the various theatres, 
clubs, churches, civic and fraternal gatherings of the city. 
Where a projecting lantern was used, the speaker had 
with him a slide, which announced him on the screen, 
and also served as his identification card. All schedules 
and speakers were arranged for by the local chairman. 
Many special requests were received for particular 
speakers, and these were met as far as possible. Ad- 
dresses were also made in foreign languages, principally 
Italian. A small number of the speakers were able to 
speak in other foreign languages. Much effective work 
was accompHshed in these talks to foreigners.

AMERICAN NATIONAL RED CROSS 

WESTCHESTER COUNTY CHAPTER 
YONKERS BRANCH 

YoNKERS Branch, American Red Cross, one of the 
original three branches of the Westchester County Chap- 
ter, began its war activities in March, 1916. Its member- 
ship then was 126 persons. At the tune of the armistice 
it had increased to 15,358. 

During the war, fifty-sLx auxiliaries were established 



with approximately 3,800 active workers, who turned 
out, in the entire period of operation, about 1,400,000 
surgical dressings, hospital garments for the wounded, 
refugee garments for the French, Belgians and Serbs, 
and woolen and knitted articles for soldiers and sailors. 
These workers also engaged in canteen work, in reclaim- 
ing and mending the uniforms and clothing of the soldiers, 
in the operations of the motor corps, and in several 
minor activities. 

The first home of the Yonkers Branch was in the 
building at 29 South Broadway, placed at its disposal 
by the Y. W. C. A. The work of the branch soon out- 
grew these accommodations, and in January, 1918, the 
right to use Manor Hall as a headquarters was granted 
by the trustees of the American Scenic and Historic 
Preservation Society. 

One of the most important Red Cross activities at 
home was that of the canteen. This was begun AprU 11, 
1918, at 29 South Broadway, and was open all day, every 
day up to September 24, 1918. It took care in all of 
7,675 men. Cost price was charged for food, each portion 
being five cents, with one or two exceptions of ten cents. 
Cigarettes and writing paper were furnished free. 

The Red Cross Canteen was asked to run the "mess" 
for the 233 soldiers sent to take the intensive training at 
the Saunders Trades School for July and August, 191 8. 
By the courtesy of the Y. W. C. A. the Canteen secured 
the use of the large club room in the Association building. 
This was a bright, cool room with an entrance from the 
street, and was situated directly opposite the High School, 
where the men were quartered, and so made a most con- 
venient arrangement for the soldiers. Tables for use 
in the mess hall were loaned by the Elks, the Odd Fellows 
and by the Y. W. C. A. Chairs were loaned by the 
High School. Some china and silver were loaned by 
the Odd Fellows, but the rest of the equipment was 
bought by the Canteen from the funds paid by the 
Government for this purpose. The Canteen hired two 
cooks and three dishwashers, but the rest of the service 
was given by the Canteen women. There were forty 
women a day on duty. This, of course, covered the 
three meals. The Sunday night suppers were served 
by the ladies from the different churches in Yonkers, 
and were attended by all the men who had remained 
in Yonkers for the week-ends. The ladies always planned 
an entertainment for the men on these nights and it was 
much appreciated. Ladies from the canteens in Pelham, 
Mamaroneck, Ardsley and Dobbs Ferry assisted Yonkers 
Canteen in this work. 

A sample day's menu (July 19) consisted of: Break- 
fast — Oatmeal or Force, beef hash, coffee, bread and 
butter. Dinner — Fried butterfish, stewed tomatoes, 
potatoes, chocolate pudding, bread and butter and coffee. 
Supper — Pork and beans, bread and butter, iced tea, 
apricots or prunes, or bananas. 

Average cost per day for food per man was 513 cents.

WHAT YONKERS CITIZENS DID AT HOME

The Red Cross Canteen was able to equip the Canteen 
and serve the men for less money than the Army allow- 
ance, because so much of the equipment was loaned to 
the Canteen, and then on many occasions the ladies in 
the Canteen provided the desserts for the dinner or 
supper, thus saving the expense of buying the dessert. 

When the men left for their various camps the Canteen 
put up rations for the two hundred who were going to 
distant camps. One thousand one hundred and ninety- 
seven lunches were put up for the men. These lunches 
contained cans of beans, corned beef, sardines, cheese, 
sliced ham, sliced tongue, crackers, sandwiches, jars of 
jelly, apples, pears, peaches, as well as paper plates, 
cups, spoons, a can opener and a package of cigarettes. 

The Canteen turned over to the local Red Cross over 
a thousand dollars for its use. The Red Cross Canteen 
lent all of its equipment to the ne.xt contingent of men 
stationed at the Armory doing the same training at the 
Trades School for September and October. 

A canteen was also maintained at Bryn Mawr Park 
for nearly a year. An average of about thirty-five men 
a day, all soldiers guarding the Aqueduct, made use of 
this canteen, which was run in the same way as the 
one on South Broadway. 

The Civilian Relief for 1918-1919 included an emer- 
gency diet kitchen from October 22 to November 9 
inclusive. This diet kitchen was opened during the 
influenza epidemic of 1918, for the benefit of those re- 
covering from the disease. One hundred and eight fami- 
lies were served. Four hundred and seven Christmas 
stockings were filled for children of service men, and for 
nurses at Fort Slocum. Jellies, books, games and com- 
forts were collected and forwarded to the United States 
hospitals at East View and at Gun Hill Road. 

The Junior Red Cross was organized in the schools 
of the city under special sanction of the Board of Edu- 
cation, Chairman, Mr. W. R. Williams. 15,442 pupils 
were enrolled, and 13,197 articles were made up to Jan- 
uary, 1919. All the schools of the city, the high school, 
trades school and the twenty-two elementary schools 
were members of the organization, and the children 
were actively engaged in various forms of Red Cross 
work. Practically all the activities in the sewing classes 
in schools were given over to making garments and 
other kinds of supplies and materials required by the 
Yonkers Branch. At the close of the war, the Junior 
Red Cross disbanded, and turned over to the treasury 
of the Branch $964.54. In the Saunders Trades School 
the mmaber of garments from June 18, 191 7, to October i, 
1 91 7, totalled 17,695. 

Classes in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick and 
First Aid were maintained at intervals from February, 
1917 on. Up to January, 1920, three hundred and ninety 
women were enrolled in the Home Hygiene classes and 
about one hundred men and women in the First Aid 
classes. The three chairmen during the years 1917, 191S 



and 1919 were Mrs. Lawson Sandford, Mrs. A. D. Gil- 
more and Mrs. W. M. Taussig. 

The Home Service Section was organized in Yonkers 
in May, 1917, with Mrs. B. C. Lyon as volunteer executive 
secretary. She served until September of that year, 
when a paid secretary was appointed. In April, 1918, 
the Home Service work was taken over by the County 
Chapter, with the general oflice at White Plains, and a 
branch oflice in Yonkers. From July, 191 7, to January, 
1920, $14,540.28 was expended in rehef for the families 
of Yonkers men. Of this amount, $4,389.24 was re- 
funded by organizations or individuals. 

Yonkers raised $68,503.37 in the First Red Cross drive 
and $140,192.45 in the second drive. The Yonkers 
Branch received twelve per cent of this money. The 
total receipts of the Yonkers Red Cross for the three 
and one-half years ending September 30, 1919, was 
$66,348.67. 

The payments for the same period were as follows : 

For maintenance, including labor, wages, telephone 

repairs, light, postage and stationery $4,362.08 

Materials, surgical dressings, wool, etc 46,341.82 

Special payments, civiUan and military relief 3.975-71 

Shipping e.xpense 1,249.81 

Total expenditures $55,829.42 

The auxiliaries raised funds for their own maintenance, 
and from time to time made donations to the Branch. 
The Yonkers Red Cross had but one paid worker, and 
the payments for labor and wages did not amount to 
two per cent of the entire receipts. About seventy-five 
per cent of the receipts was expended in military relief 
and refugee and hospital garments.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SERVICE RENDERED 
BY THE LOCAL YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN 
ASSOCIATION DURING THE WORLD WAR 
YONKERS, NEW YORK 

The formal opening of our new building took place 
during the first week in February, 191 7. War was de- 
clared April 6, 1917. Thus we had just become adjusted 
to our new home when the work of mobilization began. 
Immediately our boys began to respond 'to the call of 
our country by enhsting in the various branches of the 
service. Even before the call came, a number of our 
splendid young men joined the 32d Regiment Coast 
Artillery, and were among the first to sail away for 
France, and from that time on, not a week passed that 
some of our members did not join in the great conflict 
to do their bit, until nearly three hundred stars were 
on our Service Flag, eight of which are covered with 
gold, representing our members who gave their fives in 
our country's service.

WHAT YONKERS CITIZENS DID AT HOME 



27 



During the summer of 191 7, we were given the unusual 
opportunity of sharing our beautiful new building with 
the seven thousand enlisted men temporarily encamped 
at Van Cortlandt Park, and with the Navy boys off 
the ships on the harbor and river, who visited Yonkers 
so frequently. Day after day, and week after week, 
these fine young fellows made use of our showers and 
swimming pool to the number of 500 daily, and on one 
day, by actual count, 627. After the showers and swim, 
our lobby, reading-room and writing-room proved popular 
places. Writing home to mother seemed to be the pleas- 
ant duty of many. During the evening a social program, 
including motion pictures, music and games, was ar- 
ranged, and on several occasions a strong, timely address 
with a virile message was given. 

All during the war, soldiers and sailors made free use 
of our building, night and day. When the beds were 
filled, they slept in our big easy chairs, and on cots and 
mats in our gjmmasium. Their uniform was their ticket, 
and all of our members who were engaged in the war 
were carried on our membership roUs free of charge. 

One of the contributions that the local Association 
made towards the winning of the war, worthy of special 
mention, was the giving up of five members of our Asso- 
ciation staff, three of whom went overseas; and, in coop- 
eration with the National War Work Council, our local 
Association recommended thirty-eight men and women 
workers for the "Red Triangle" service, all of whom 
made good and several of whom rendered notable service. 

During the period of the draft, a series of informal 
receptions were given to men joining the National 
Army. The night before they were leaving for Camp 
Upton, the men were invited to come to our building and 
enjoy the privileges for the evemng. Refreshments were 
served with a social program, and a letter of introduction 
to the Camp Secretary was given to each man, and the 
General Secretary marched with the men from City Hall 
to the train. 

The local Association was actively identified with all 
the national campaigns and drives. Liberty Loan, War 
Savings Stamp, Knights of Columbus, Jewish Welfare 
Relief Campaign, Red Cross, Salvation Army, Navy 
League and United War Work drives. In fact, the 
Association was engaged in all sorts of public and patri- 
otic services and occupied the position of leadership in 
many of the big war work campaigns. 

All Yonkers was full of anxiety when the news came 
of the sinking of the U.S.S. President Lincoln, but was 
glad and grateful when it became known that the 
eighteen Yonkers boys of the crew were saved. These 
young survivors made the "Y" their headquarters during 
their furlough, following the sinking of the ship, and 
were presented with membership tickets and shown many 
courtesies and given every consideration. While in 
Yonkers they rendered notable service in the War Sav- 
ing Stamp campaign, which was in progress at that time. 



Their appeal for funds from platforms and pulpits and 
factory meetings was most affective. All Yonkers treated 
them royally. 

As the boys were coming back from overseas and from 
cantonments the Association gave a three months' com- 
plimentary membership ticket, which included the privi- 
leges of our employment bureau, and Hterally hundreds 
were assisted to positions, and helped to adjust them- 
selves to peace conditions. 

The Association was weU represented on the Yonkers 
Mayor's Committee on Reception of Returning Soldiers 
and Sailors. In fact, the chairman, secretary and 
treasurer of the Committee were members of the 
Y. M. C. A. Board of Directors, as, also, were five of 
the vice-presidents, and the General Secretary was 
chairman of the Hospitality Committee. In the Victory 
Parade, the 14th of June, the chairman of the parade, 
the grand marshal of the parade and the marshal of 
the Fourth Division and the commander of the over- 
seas men were all Association men. 

The Woman's AuxiUary, Mrs. W. A. Edwards, Presi- 
dent, gave the Association splendid cooperation in all 
its war activities; in all the many receptions given the 
soldiers and sailors at the Association building these 
good women were present and served refreshments and 
helped to make pleasant the social hour. They were 
also busy with their needles and presented knitted gar- 
ments to the Association members, as they pulled away 
to war. 

During the period of demobihzation the Association 
gave numerous open-house receptions to the boys on 
their return, and since the war a strong program of 
Americanization has been carried on by the Association, 
seeking to extend the patriotic war spirit into patriotic 
peace endeavor. 

With the return of the boys, a number of the World 
War veterans, including many of our own members, or- 
ganized Cook Post of the American Legion, named in 
memory of George Frederick Cook and Gilbert Cook, 
brothers, and members of our Association. The member- 
ship in this Post, which meets regularly in our building, 
is open to all ex-service men in the city, and over three 
hundred very soon enrolled. 

The Association has placed a bronze tablet in the 
vestibule of the building in honor and in memory of the 
eight members of the Association who made the supreme 
sacrifice. 

WAR WORK OF THE SALVATION 
ARMY IN YONKERS 

The Salvation Army in Yonkers immediately entered 
into its various war duties at the President's call to arms. 
Two Yonkers women who had lived and worked with 
the Salvation Army in this city. Captain Hannah 
Schofield and Mamie Sylsbury, spent many months with 



28 



YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



the American Expeditionary Forces in France. Two 
members of the Salvation Army volunteered for service, 
one in the United States Army and the other in the 
Canadian Engineers. 

One of the first tasks of the Salvation Army throughout 
the country was to organize a war service league. The 
Yonkers branch organized a very strong league, which 
knitted hundreds of sweaters for soldiers. 

The officers of the Salvation Army paid periodical 
visits to the families of the men who had gone to the 
front. At Christmas time fifty-five needy famihes whose 
relatives were in the army and whose names had been 
obtained through the Red Cross, received baskets of 
provisions, and five hundred children of soldiers were 
given toys, candy and clothing at a gala Christmas 
entertainment each year during the war period. 

Commander Evangeline Booth sent letters of condo- 
lence to every family whose near kin had paid the 
supreme sacrifice. The officer in charge of the Yonkers 
work, Adjutant Nathan, was appointed a member of the 
Welcome Home Committee. He was chairman of the 
Yonkers Memorial Service Committee. In the big Wel- 
come Home Parade on June 14, 191 9, the Salvation Army 
was an important unit. 

During the Liberty Loan drives, Adjutant Nathan 
served as a Four Minute Man. He spoke in various 
theatres, schools and factory buildings, and as a member 
of the Flying Squadron sold many thousands of dollars 
of bonds. The chairman of the Fifth Liberty Loan 
drive appointed a special Salvation Army Day, when 
a band from New York City and Miss Irene Mclntyre, 
who had served in France, participated. $18,000 worth 
of Liberty Bonds was sold. 

When the service men returned, the Salvation Army 
placed hundreds of them in positions, and helped many 
of them with transportation charges. Some of the fami- 
lies of returning soldiers had a bitter struggle for a time 
to make ends meet, and in many cases these appealed 
to the Salvation Army for help. Where investigation 
justified it, aid was always given. In all of its work the 
Salvation Army cooperated closely with the Yonkers 
branch of the American Red Cross. 

LA RABIDA COUNCIL, KNIGHTS 
OF COLUMBUS 

La Rabida Council of the Knights of Columbus was 
organized on Sunday, May 3, 1896. The plans of its 
organization were made in the office of the Honorable 
Francis X. Donoghue, at 45 Warburton Avenue. At 
the time of its institution it had fifty-six members, in- 
cluding all the prominent Catholics of Yonkers at that 
time. 

The first Knight of Columbus north of the Harlem 
River was the late John T. McKenna, who was a member 
of La Rabida Council. It was through his work and in- 



fluence upon Judge Donoghue that the Council was 
founded. Although a small council then, it is to-day one 
of the largest and most influential, with a membership 
of over two thousand men. One of the prune movers 
in estabhshing the Council was the first chaplain, the 
late Right Rev. Mgr. Charles R. Corley, pastor of St. 
Mary's Church. 

The name La Rabida was given to the Council by the 
late Brother Patrick Reardon. Much interest has been 
shown in the meaning of La Rabida. La Rabida is a 
Franciscan convent near Palos, Spain, which was restored 
in 1855. It was at this convent that Christopher Colum- 
bus stopped on his journey to seek assistance in his 
plans; and through the interest which his conversation 
aroused in the Prior, his purpose was brought to the 
notice of Queen Isabella, and the trip of Columbus across 
the Atlantic was made possible. 

The Council as a whole has been a great factor in good 
American citizenship. It has selected the highest type 
of men to fight the evils of sociaHsm, bolshevism and 
anarchy. It at all times answered every call that the 
Government made upon it and in the Liberty Loans 
won high honors in its sales of bonds. During the war 
it played a prominent part in the success of the Army 
and Navy. 

When troops were stationed at Van Cortlandt Park 
ready for trouble at the Mexican border, the local Coun- 
cil immediately opened a recreation camp for the enter- 
tainment of these men. During the World War, when 
men were stationed at the Saunders Trades school, 
receiving instruction, the Council secured the hut at 
Saint Denis' Auditorium in Lawrence Street through the 
courtesy of Father Hughes, and housed these men. It 
provided weekly entertainments for the soldiers at Holy 
Rosary Social Center on Lamartine Avenue, gave sight- 
seeing automobile rides, and did everything in its power 
to make the men feel at home. 

It established an Employment and Information Bureau 
at 72 Warburton Avenue, open to the pubhc at all times. 
It maintained a hut at the same place, which had all 
conveniences for men in uniform — pool, billiard and 
card tables, shuffle board, player piano, and reading room. 
The motto was, "Everybody Welcome, Everything 
Free." 

After the armistice was signed the Council still played 
a prominent part in welcoming soldiers home, the hut 
being open to them with the same privileges as during 
the war. It then estabhshed an automobile mechanics' 
school on South Broadway and St. Mary's Street, and 
an academic school at Holy Rosary. Ex-service men 
were taught bookkeeping, accounting, stenography, type- 
writing, mechanical drawing, Enghsh, arithmetic and 
advanced mathematics. In the two schools over one 
thousand men were registered. 

The day of the Welcome Home Parade in Yonkers, 
two hundred wounded men were the guests of the Knights

of Columbus. They were brought in automobiles from 
Eastview Hospital, and given seats on the Waring Lawns, 
South Broadway, to review the parade. After the parade 
they were taken to the hut on Warburton Avenue and 
given a course dinner. 

At all times during the activities of the Knights of 
Columbus their one ambition and desire was to take care 
of men in the service of their country. They are now 
arranging to erect a memorial hut in honor of those who 
answered the call. 

In 1906 the Council secured the Cornell property at 
72 Warburton Avenue for their club. They are using 
this site pending the completion of the new building at 
the corner of South Broadway and St. Mary's Street.

WAR CAMP COMMUNITY SERVICE 
WORK IN YONKERS 

War Camp CoMiiiuNiTY Service Work in Yonkers 
was organized in the fall of 1918 to proxdde entertainment 
for a machine gun company stationed in the city and for 
the technical students at the Yonkers Trade School. 
Contributing clubs had been organized, and with them 
War Camp Community Service carried on some inter- 
esting activities. 

As the service men were gradually withdrawn from 
the city, there arose an even greater need for the sort of 
assistance War Camp Community Service could render. 
Yonkers' own boys were coming back from the World 
War. They were finding, as were returning service men 
the country over, that it was difficult to adjust them- 
selves to the old Ufe. Many of them were out of jobs — 
all of them needed wholesome recreation to help them 
in passing through this most trying period. A splendid 
War Camp Community Service committee of Yonkers 
citizens was organized, and the national headquarters 
of War Camp Community Service supplied workers. 

The Mayor appointed War Camp Community Service 
the clearing house for providing information for service 
men. An Information and Service Bureau was opened 
at Hollywood Inn. Scores of men in uniform sought it 
daily, directed by the Yonkers police or by the posters 
and window cards which had been distributed in all 
parts of the city. Providing jobs was the principal work 
of the Bureau. Hundreds of local men were placed. 



Such a real personal interest was taken in each of the 
boys that there were frequent visits from boys who had 
been helped to jobs and from their mothers for the pur- 
pose of expressing their whole-hearted thanks. The U.S. 
Emplojonent Agency of the district, with which War 
Camp Community Service closely cooperated, acknowl- 
edged the fine work being done and said that practically 
all the cases of employing service men in Yonkers were 
being handled through War Camp Community Service. 
A committee was formed to canvass the city for work 
for soldiers and sailors. Another branch of the activities 
of the Information and Service Bureau was providing 
home hospitaHty for men in hospitals. 

Through the Information and Service Bureau it was 
learned that the boys felt the need of dances. The first 
experimental dance was a huge success. It was almost 
a veterans' reunion. There were twice as many men as 
girls, but the men were so happy to be together again 
that they formed in little groups about the floor and did 
not mind the lack of partners. The dances became a 
weekly institution at the Red Circle Club in Getty Square, 
which was the scene of many parties and gay "get-to- 
gether" occasions. The newly formed American Legion 
held its meetings at the club. 

Not the least of the activities fostered by War Camp 
Community Service was the girls' work. Yonkers, girls 
in industry needed aknost as much as did her re- 
turning soldiers to have their leisure time constructively 
and interestingly occupied during the difficult after-war 
period. In 1918 groups of girls from various factories 
had been organized, and War Camp Community Service 
expanded this work so that over six hundred girls were 
finally enrolled in the Community Service League. The 
opening of a community center in a building opposite 
the carpet factory, owned by the Presbyterian Church, 
provided a meeting place. Classes in gymnastics, music, 
dramatics and domestic science, as well as hikes, picnics 
and social gatherings, helped to give these girls wholesome 
interests outside of their working hours. They danced 
with service men at War Camp's supervised dances and 
they assisted in bringing cheer to convalescent soldiers. 
The employers recognized the value of this work. As 
a tribute to it, the National Sugar Refinery, in July, 1919, 
presented the Girls' Division with an American flag, 
which they, in an impressive community ceremony, 
turned over to the city. 

War Camp Community Service played a large part 
in Yonkers' special celebrations, directing the mass sing- 
ing which was so effective a way of expressing community 
spirit on these occasions. The municipal Christmas 
activities in 191S were put entirely under the direction 
of War Camp Community Service by the Mayor. Many 
Yonkers residents will remember the community singing 
at the Eighth Ward Welcome Home Celebration, in 
June, 1919, when the band from the U.S.S. Idaho played, 
and the words of popular songs were thrown on a screen. 



30 



YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



Still more will remember the singing in the parks which 
occupied such a prominent part in the celebration of 
July 4, 1919- War Camp Community Service led singing 
in the theatres on special occasions, and singing played 
a part in the first general meeting of the Yonkers Ameri- 
can Legion at the Red Circle Club rooms. 

Its task of helping to assimilate the service man into 
the community having been completed, War Camp 
Community Service in Yonkers closed in January, 1920. 
An editorial in the Yonkers Daily News of August 21, 
1919, says, "For its many activities along moral and 
social lines, Yonkers is indebted to the War Camp Com- 
munity Service. But, if we mistake not, it is indebted 
to this organization even more for keeping always before 
it the importance of community spirit to the community 
itseH." 

THE CRITERION CLUB OF THE 
Y. M. H. A. 

As A result of its work during the great world war, the 
Criterion Club of the Young Men's Hebrew Association 
stands out as being more than a mere gathering of men. 
It stands forth as an organization which saw the country's 
need, and was equal to the demands made upon it. 

When war was declared against Germany in 191 7, a 
large number of the club members volunteered for sendee. 
Those remaining considered ways and means of uphold- 
ing the morale not only of their absent club members, 
but of all local friends of the members, as far as they 
possibly could. A subscription of over $300 was raised 
by members, which was used in dispensing comforts to 
those in service. 

The committee in charge of this fund gave each de- 
parting member a fountain pen, with the injunction: 
"Write and let us hear from you often." AU others re- 
ceived the same invitation, and all were encouraged to 
make use of the club in carrying out any errand or wish 
that might arise while they were away. 

The men were constantly supplied with smokes, sweets, 
stamps, reading matter and other necessities and com- 
forts to help them feel their absence less. As the original 
fund was spent, more money was subscribed, and al- 
though there were fewer men left to dig in, the funds 
were never lacking. 

Many an evening club members spent hours writing 
letters to those in service. In return, the club received 
over one thousand letters, cards, photographs and sou- 
venirs from the grateful service men. These letters, 
written sometimes in the face of death, expressed sincerely 
what the soldiers felt most deeply in their hearts. The 
letters are to-day in a fire-proof vault in the Y. M. H. A. 
club rooms, and form one of the most cherished pos- 
sessions of the club. 

In other fields, too, the club was active. Liberty bonds 
of all issues, amounting to $20,000, were bought, and com- 



mittees were always busy getting subscriptions inside 
and outside the club. Large subscriptions were also ob- 
tained for the Red Cross, K. of C, Y. M. C. A., Jewish 
Welfare Board and Salvation Army funds. 

November 11, 1918, found thirty-seven of a total mem- 
bership of forty-five, in the service. Of that number, 
although some were wounded, all returned safely. One 
member was killed in France. 



HOW YONKERS HELPED TO FORM 
AN ARMY 

"The nation needs men, and needs them quickly," 
was the plea that Provost Marshal General E. H. Crowder 
made on July 26, 191 7, in a message to members of Local 
Boards under the Selective Service Law. 

Although many organizations in the city of Yonkers 
had been active in war work for the Alhes, and many 
individuals had enlisted in the armies of the Allies, or 
in their auxiliary services before the active entrance of 
our country into the confUct, all the patriotic forces in 
the municipahty seemed to spring into instant action 
when war was declared. Voluntary enlistments in great 
number took place. 

Yet, with the war proclamation came the necessity 
for putting into operation the machinery that was to 
translate the requirements of the Selective Service Law 
into an army of young men. Three local Draft Boards 
and a Board of Instruction were organized for the districts 
of Yonkers. Men whose time was otherwise occupied 
with aSairs of business gladly volunteered to serve in 
these Boards without compensation. Hours were long, 
and the work was often exhausting. 

A total number of 1,839 men was accepted for military 
service, while the number of those registered and classi- 
fied with the Boards was well over 20,000. 

The principal questions to be decided by the Local 
Boards were those of physical fitness and dependency. 
The regulations permitted exemption of any man who 
had a wife, child, aged mother or father dependent upon 
him for support. The activities of the Boards required 
men with broadly human quaUties throughout, men of 
a highly sympathetic and unbiased nature, who in each 
case were capable of deciding on their own authority 
the destinies of the various registrants who appUed for 
exemption. 

LOCAL DRAFT BOARD FOR 
DIVISION NO. I 

Local Draft Bo.\rd for Division No. i, one of the 
three Local Draft Boards in the city of Yonkers, included 
the First, Fourth, Eighth and Ninth wards. It officially 
opened its headquarters at 55 Main Street, in the Gazette- 
Press Building, later occupied by the Yonkers Daily News.

The Board functioned through the first registration, 
June 5, 1917, for men between twenty-one and thirty 
years inclusive, numbering about 3,400. Physical exami- 
nations were begun, and the men were called according 
to the sequence of their order numbers, irrespective of 
any claim for exemption. These claims were permitted 
to be made after the examination had taken place. As 
the space in this building was unsuitable for physical 
examinations, a new location was sought, and the Elks 
Building was used for a short time. The Board was 
then assigned headquarters in the City Hall. 

Approximately 1,100 men were called for examination 
to fill the quota of 181 assigned the district. Out of 
this number, 45 failed to appear, 421 were accepted 
physically, 321 rejected physically, 518 claimed exemp- 
tion and discharge. 474 claims were allowed, and 44 
disallowed. 203 were certified to the District Board for 
final classification. The first call to send men to camp 
came September 10, 1917, when nine men entrained to 
Camp Upton, Long Island, N. Y. 

The questionnaire system was begun shortly, and each 
registrant had the opportunity of fiUng one with his 
Board, claiming the classification he beHeved he was en- 
titled to. These were in turn acted upon, after filing by 
the Board members for final determination. There were 
about 706 registrants placed in Class i, available for 
service pending the outcome of their physical examina- 
tion. These examinations were vigorously pursued. By 
the following year, in some boards, this class was ex- 
hausted, but Local Board for Division i still had a few 
registrants in this class available for service. 

A second registration was necessary not to break into 
the deferred classes, or Class 2, and this called for men 
who had attained their 21st birthday since the first 
registration on June 5, 1917. This took place June 5 
and August 12, 1918. The Board thus added about 
250 men to its former registration. September 12, 1918, 
a third registration took place, calHng for all men between 
the ages of 19 and 45 inclusive, and exclusive of the 
ages between 21 and 30, as these men presumably were 
registered. This brought forth about 4,800 more regis- 
trants, bringing the total for Local Board No. i up to 
about 8,500 and making it the largest board in the city. 

The work of the Board was carried out to a most 
satisfactory conclusion, and this was in part due to the 
noble and worthy assistance rendered by the outside 
volunteers. All the members of the Board served gra- 
tuitously, and this made an excellent showing when the 
results of financial standing for the Boards in the state 
were given out. 

A number of changes occurred in the personnel of the 
Draft Board. Mr. Travers D. Carman resigned to be- 
come a captain in the Motor Transport Corps. Mr. 
Dan C. Nolan was officially appointed chairman, and 
Mr. E. Stanton George was appointed to Mr. Nolan's 
place as secretary. Mr. Alexander W. McCready resigned 



to enter the Medical Corps, and Mr. Herman P. Roos 

succeeded as chief clerk, appointing Mrs. Mildred E. 
McBride as his assistant.

LOCAL DRAFT BOARD FOR 
DIVISION NO. 2 

The Board, as originally organized, consisted of 
Charles E. Gorton, Superintendent of the Board of 
Education, as Chairman; John F. Brennan, Secretary, 
and Dr. Henry Moffat. 

The first notification to this Division, concerning the 
quota to be provided, was given for many less men than 
the amended figures called for, through some mistake 
at Albany. The Board organized, and proceeded to ful- 
fill requirements. Supposing the work to be completed, 
Mr. Brennan left on his annual trip for Europe. In 
the latter part of August, amended figures were com- 



32 



YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



municated. Mr. Gorton found that his duties in connec- 
tion with the Board of Education and the pubHc schools 
of the city were too great to allow his giving any more 
time to the Local Board. He resigned, and Captain 
Henry T. Bragg, O. R. N. Y., was appointed by the 
President in his stead, and duly elected chairman. 

At the beginning, various volunteers connected with 
the pubHc schools acted as clerks, but it was found im- 
possible to continue this arrangement. For a time, the 
Board managed with volunteers who gave temporary 
service, until Miss Mary R. Janz was selected as chief 
clerk. Miss Helen Duffy served as assistant clerk 
during a part of the Board's existence. 

In the latter part of August, 1918, Chairman Bragg 
was suddenly stricken bUnd in the office, and after com- 
pleting the dictations for the day's work, was escorted 
home by the chief clerk. Mr. John F. Brennan became 
his successor. 

The President appointed Mr. Ethelbert Belknap as 
secretary, to take Mr. Brennan's place. 

The work accomphshed by this Board, verified in the 
report of the Provost Marshal General, is as follows: 

Total called, 525; total inducted, 528; total accepted, 
482; total rejected, 44; draft cancelled, 2. Of the 44 
rejected, one appealed from his rejection to the Special 
Board at White Plains. His appeal was approved, and 
he was sent to Camp Upton, where he was again rejected 
owing to indications of incipient tuberculosis. This 
proved the correctness of the local physicians in direct- 
ing his rejection in the first place. The 43 remaining men 
would not have been ordered rejected, had it not been 
for an unfortunate confusion resulting from orders from 
the Medical Department at Washington. 

Of the 43, three accepted positions after rejection, in 
munition plants. The remaining 40 were afterwards all 
located in various branches of the service where they 
had enlisted, thus justifying the opinion of the Local 
Board Examiners that they should never have been 
rejected. The total number of men registered with 
this Division was over 20,000. The number drafted 
does not represent all of the men from this Division 
who were in service, because many volunteered. In 
addition, there were about 135 men who came forward 
out of their turn voluntarily, and under the regulations 
then in force, were permitted to enter various branches 
of the service after registration. 

During the existence of this Division, volunteer assist- 
ance was given by many of the office employees of local 
industries, and by men and women school teachers. No 
record of the names was kept, and yet, so many came 
forward, that it is doubtful if any school teacher in the 
city failed to do a share of the work in connection with 
the Local Boards. 

The colored men of the city volunteered in such num- 
bers with the old 15th New York Regiment, that when 
this Division was finally called upon to induct all the 



colored men in the section, there were only three found 
to be subject to duty.

Thomas F. Curran, now deceased, and Henry Martyn 
Baird, Jr., were government appeal agents for the 
Board. 

Mrs. Rose V. Carroll was chief clerk of the Board, 
and the Misses Anna SuUivan, Edith Poole, Cassie 
Murphy, Florence Hare, Elsie Becker and Florence

COMPANY G, FIRST INFANTRY, 
NEW YORK GUARD 

Company G, loth New York Infantry, National Guard, 
responded to the call of the President on July 15, 191 7, 
and was mustered in Federal service July 20, 191 7, 
leaving Yonkers July 29 of that year. 

Company G, First Infantry, New York Guard, entered 
the service July 20, 1917, as a Depot Unit to the old 
company, and remained as such until October iS, 1917, 
when the designation was changed to Company G, 8th 
Coast Artillery Corps, New York Guard. December 6, 
the designation became Ninth Company, 8th Coast 
Artillery Corps, and on August i, 1919, the present 
designation was received. 

The Company's armory was used during the war for 
Liberty Loan drives, Y. M. C. A. and Knights of Colum- 

1 Dr. Moffat was later promoted and transferred from this Di- 
vision to the Medical Advisory Board at White Plains.

bus drives, patriotic meetings, training of the Women's 
Ambulance Corps drivers and other war activities. The 
armory was used as a dormitory and mess-hall for 275 
soldier students, who received a three months' course of 
instruction at the Saunders Trade School. These men 
were being prepared for the various trades connected 
with army operation. 

In addition to its regular weekly drills, the Company 
participated in the following events:

BOARDS OF INSTRUCTION 

In conformance with the provisions of Provost Mar- 
shal General Crowder's order No. 76, Boards of Instruc- 
tion were organized during the summer of 1918 for the 
purpose of getting in personal touch with all the selective 
service registrants before they were called for active 
service. Heretofore, many registrants had gone to camp 
ignorant and afraid of what they had to face there. 

It was the duty of the Instruction Boards to see to 
the elimination of that condition. It was also their duty 
to see that men were fit physically, and prepared for 
early promotion by preliminary military training; that 
they were imbued with a spirit of real patriotism, a 
knowledge of what they were fighting for, and a willing- 
ness to fight. 

The report of the Board's activities forwarded to Gen- 
eral Crowder after the close of hostilities shows that the 
twenty-one men engaged in this service conducted thirty 
meetings where instruction was given to an approximate 
total of 1,500 selectives in regard to the conditions which 
would confront them when they reached the cantonments. 
They were told of their rights and privileges regarding 
insurance, allowances and allotments; about the pur- 
poses of the nation in waging the war; their duty in 
keeping themselves physically fit, and free from disease. 
They were also given military instruction. 

The members of the Boards of Instruction by dis- 
tricts were: 

First District 

E. Stanton George, James B. Lackey, Maurice D. 
O'Keefe, Thomas W. Casey, Jules Hart, Edmund Water- 
man.

Military Instructors 
Captain William S. Collins, Lieutenant E. S. Goode, 
Lieutenant Walter F. Brown. 



REPORT OF THE MAYOR'S COMMITTEE 
FOR GOVERNMENT FOOD SUPPLIES 

Note. When the war came to an abrupt end with the signing 
of the armistice, the government had in its warehouses vast quanti- 
ties of food originally destined for the personnel of the military 
forces. This food was distributed to districts all over the country, 
to be sold at cost for the general benefit of the population. The 
following report was made on December 10, 1919, by Elmer A. 
Sheets, Chairman oj the Committee.

THE WAR SERVICE OF THE 
YONKERS SCHOOLS 

Throughout the dark and dangerous period of the 
World War, when America was giving of her best to 
winning the great struggle against the menace which 



34 



YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



overhung the liberties of the world, the schools of Yonkers 
rendered a valiant and valuable service. 

Early in the struggle it became apparent that this 
was to be a war of peoples as well as a war of armies and 
that if the cause of right was to triumph our country- 
must bend her every energy, and mobilize her every 
resource for the struggle. At once upon the signing of 
the declaration of war which made the United States 
an active participant in the conflict, preparations were 
made by the schools to do what they could to aid their 
country. 

Under the devoted leadership of Mr. Charles E. Gorton, 
superintendent of schools, patriotic exercises were held 
in all the schools. The principals and teachers sought to 
teach the children the nature of the struggle and the 
momentous issues which were at stake. They aimed to 
strengthen the faith of their pupils that this war would 
settle for all time the question of whether might and 
justice were to be the ruUng motives in this world or 
oppression and tyranny; that in such an issue as this 
our peace-loving RepubUc could be true to the principles 
upon which it was founded only by throwing the weight of 
her might into this struggle for the freedom of the world. 

By the direction of the Board of Education many of 
the customary Hnes of work in the schools of the city 
were greatly modified. As far as possible the various 
manual activities were turned in the direction of pro- 
ductive war work in response to the proclamation of the 
President. 

To the School Children of the United States: 
A PROCLAMATION 

The President of the United States is also President 
of the American Red Cross. It is from these oflaces 
joined in one that I write you a word of greeting at this 
time when so many of you are beginnmg the school year. 
The American Red Cross has just prepared a Junior 
membership with School Activities in which every pupil 
in the United States can find a chance to serve our country. 
The school is the natural center of your hfe. Through 
it you can best work in the cause of freedom to which 
we have all pledged ourselves. 

Our Junior Red Cross will bring to you opportunities 
of service to your community and to other communities 
all over the world and guide your service with high and 
religious ideals. It will teach you how to save in order 
that suffering children elsewhere may have the chance 
to hve. It will teach you how to prepare some of the 
suppUes which wounded soldiers and homeless famihes 
lack. It will send to you through the Red Cross 
Bulletins the thrilling stories of relief and rescue. And 
best of all, more perfectly than through any of your other 
school lessons, you will learn by doing those kind things 
under your teacher's direction, to be the future good 
citizens of this great country which we all love. 



And I commend to all school teachers in the country 
the simple plan which the American Red Cross has worked 
out to provide for cooperation, knowing as I do that 
school children will give their best services under the 
direct guidance and instruction of their teachers. Is 
not this perhaps the chance for which you have been 
looking to give your time and efforts in some measure 
to meet our national needs? 

WooDROW Wilson, President 

Upon the reopening of the schools in the fall of 191 7 
steps were taken to organize the children in the schools 
under the Junior Red Cross, and thus to bring them into 
cooperation with the Yonkers Branch of the senior 
organization which was already doing such effective war 
work. The principals and teachers worked at this with 
fideUty and enthusiasm and within a few weeks were able 
to report a one hundred per cent membership. Every 
pupil then enrolled in the public schools, from the high 
schools to the primary classes, 15,542 in all, became 
active members and paid into the treasury the member- 
ship fee of twenty-five cents. 

Thus a fund of nearly $4,000 was created which was 
expended, as it was needed, for materials to be made by 
the children into garments and other supplies for the 
soldiers. 

The chairman of the Junior Red Cross was Mr. W. R. 
WiUiams, principal of School No. 6. The schools par- 
ticipated in the repair and construction of garments and 
making new articles called for by the soldiers and the 
charities bestowed upon Belgian, Armenian and Serbian 
refugees and those from other nations. The work of 
the schools along these lines continued until the necessity 
for it passed. The schools contributed large sums in the 
purchase of War Savings Stamps and also engaged actively 
in the sale of government bonds in the various Liberty 
loans. 

Under the direction of Mr. Joseph J. Eaton, director 
of manual activities in the schools, and his assistants, 
cooperating with the principals, the sewmg, cooking and 
manual training courses were entirely reorganized to 
meet war needs. In addition to the work of the regu- 
lar periods devoted to sewing, etc., a great deal was 
done under the guidance of the classroom teacher in the 
course of the daily program of work. It was a common 
occurrence in all our schools that pupils would be busy 
knitting socks, wash cloths, etc., while engaged in their 
history, geography and other regular lessons. 

In the course of the war no less than 33,533 articles 
for war use were made by the children. No attempt can 
be made to enumerate all the kinds, but among them 
were these: towels, pillow cases, gun wipes, "cootie 
strings," socks, sweaters, wristlets, comfort kits, under- 
clothing, quilts, handkerchiefs, shirts, hospital supphes, 
camp stools, hospital screens. 

For two seasons this work was continued through 



WHAT YONKERS CITIZENS DID AT HOME 



35 



summer school seasons under the guidance of Mrs. Cath- 
erine M. Fetherston and many thousands of articles were 
made as they were asked for by various relief organiza- 
tions. The cooking department gave instruction and 
demonstration in canning, preserving and other forms 
of food conservation. 

Every school in the city undertook the sale of War 
Savings Stamps. Lessons of thrift and patriotic duty 
were continually impressed upon the children by teachers 
in every classroom and large numbers of stamps were 
purchased. Exact figures are not available but sales 
aggregating $192,651.76 were definitely recorded, while 
it is probable that the actual total was considerably 
above this amount. Ahnost without exception the 
school children purchased stamps. This work was carried 
on under the direction of Mr. William E. Worthington. 

Careful records kept of the work done by the children 
during the Fourth and the Fifth Liberty loans show that 
a total of 1,492 separate subscriptions were turned in 
through the schools which aggregated the sum of $150,300. 
Appeals were consistently made to the children to in- 
terest their parents to support the nation through invest- 
ing in war bonds, and no estimate can be made of the 
indirect help rendered through their influence. 

In the fall of 1918, in the great United War Work 
Campaign through which nearly two hundred million 
dollars was raised for reHef work, an allotment of the 
Yonkers quota was undertaken by the public and paro- 
chial schools. An appeal to the teachers was sent out 
from which the following extract is taken: 

"We are all in sympathy with the beneficent work 
for which this great drive is to be undertaken. A vig- 
orous campaign in its behalf in the school will cost some 
eSort and anxiety, but we would not have the Yonkers 
schools do less than their very best in every kind of war 
service that looks to helping our soldiers across the seas. 

"Yonkers has sent thousands of its young men to war. 
To help promote their welfare the city will try to do its 
full duty. For the young people the assignment is, — ■ 
'A Thousand Boys and a Thousand Girls behind the 
Yonkers Fighters.' 

"This means that another specific piece of unselfish 
war service has been asked of the children of this city. 
We are confident that in this respect also 'Yonkers 
never fails' and that to that end the principals and 
teachers will press the campaign vigorously." 

The response was hearty. Under the pledge to "earn 
and give" the children of the schools contributed 
$8,895.50 to this Worthy and unselfish cause. 

The schools did all possible honor to those of their 
former pupils who went forth to fight for their country's 
honor. Service flags were appropriately dedicated in 
every school and at the close of the war they carried 
1,933 stars in tribute to the host of young men who had 
gone out in defense of the Stars and Stripes. Gold stars 
were among the white, symbols of the sacrifice which 



sixty of these boys were called upon to make. There 
are now in the larger number of the schools various 
forms of memorial tablets sacred to the memory of those 
who laid down their lives upon the altar of their country's 
need. 

The Junior Four Minute Men were organized in the 
schools, and contests for prizes were held. The first con- 
test was held for the Yonkers High School in May, 191 8, 
and the certificates of award were given to Seymour Ely 
and Miss EHzabeth Osborne. This was followed by a 
contest for the parochial schools in which the winners 
were WilHam J. McGoldrick and Miss Celia Mackay, 
first and second prizes. The third contest was given for 
the seventh and eighth grades of the grammar schools, 
including twenty elementary institutions. The prizes were 
won by Thelma Hassett, John Fallon, Isadore Bernstein 
and Louise Maurer. The rewards were War Savings 
Stamps. 

THE STUDENT ARMY TRAINING 
CORPS 

When, in 1918, the United States Government con- 
verted most of its secondary educational institutions into 
huge training establishments to meet the possible de- 
mands of a war of long duration, the Saunders Trades 
School, of Yonkers, was included in this category. There 
were two detachments of "S. A. T. C," as they were 
known, trained at the school. The first detachment 
arrived July i, 1918, and the last detachment left Octo- 
ber 28, 1918. In all, 430 men were trained. 

One of the problems that presented itseK at the outset 
was the feeding and housing of the men. When the 
Red Cross of Yonkers was appealed to, it expressed a 
willingness to assist, and the feeding was formally con- 
tracted for by it. It made necessary readjustments in 
the Y. W. C. A. building, and adequately cared for the 
feeding of the first detachment. 

Nearly all the men in the first detachment were from 
New York City or near by localities. Many of them were 
untrained in any skilled occupation, but practicaUy all 
of them entered into the vocational work of the school 
with a great deal of zest and vigor. 

The second detachment consisted of men in uniforms, 
who had already received instructions and preparations 
for their work. These men were graded according to 
the occupations with which they were familiar, and 
their training was continued in Yonkers. The teachers 
were in every case practical workmen who were experts 
at their trades, and who in addition had teaching ex- 
perience. These teachers approached their work with 
an enthusiasm and patriotic spirit that made greatly 
for the success of the undertaking. 

No difiiculty was experienced in securing materials 
with which to carry on the practical work, because of 
the splendid cooperation of the local dealers. With the 



36 



YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



exception of equipment for the Auto Mechanic Class, 
which required a comparatively small new tool equip- 
ment, and which built a shed to shelter its cars, the 
school equipment proved adequate to meet most needs. 

The methods used at the school were those advocated 
by the best authorities on vocational education. Practical 
productive work was carried on wherever possible, and was 
hmited only by the cost of materials, or a restricted use 
for the product. AU shop work was supplemented by 
shop talks, lectures, and visits to manufacturing plants, 
lumber yards, work under construction and the like. 

The shop course was supplemented by a "War Aims 
Course" designed to put the conflict in its proper his- 
torical background in the minds of the students, and to 
help them formulate more clearly and concretely con- 
victions concerning the momentous issues involved. The 
underlying aim of the entire series of discussions was to 
strengthen the faith of the students that this was a war 
which would settle for all time the question of whether 
hate and oppression and tyranny were hereafter to be 
ruUng motives in the world; or hberty and justice and 
humanity; that it was such a war that our great peace- 
loving republic could be true to the principles upon 
which it was founded only by throwing the weight of 
its manhood and its might into this struggle for the 
freedom of the world. 



THE CRESCENT CLUB 

The Crescent Club of the city of Yonkers was 
originally organized from membership of the graduates 
of St. Mary's Parochial School, organized by Brother 
Augustus, who also gave the name to the club. 

At the outbreak of the world war, this club had one 
hundred and forty-three members. Of that number one 
hundred and twenty-two joined the colors. The for- 
mation of a Ladies Auxihary saved the disbanding of 
the organization until the return of the men from the 
war. During the Mexican trouble in 1916, the Crescent 
Club formed a defense corps and during the war those 
members who had to stay at home organized a drum corps 
in order to welcome home the returning soldiers after 
the war. 

On May 19, 1919, the Crescent Club held the first 
"Welcome Home" parade and celebration which was 
given in the city to the returned service men. Following 
the parade, a big dinner was held in Phihpsburgh HaU. 
Crescent Post 935 of the American Legion has been named 
because of the patriotism of the Crescent Club. 

During the World War, the following casualties oc- 
curred in the membership of the Crescent Club: 

Pvt. Edward J. Foley, died from the eSects of gas 

poisoning. 
Sgt. John Quinlivan, died from influenza while in the 

service. 



Pvt. John J. Munroe, wounded in hand, causing loss 

of index finger. 
Pvt. Adam Janson, wounded from shrapnel, causing 

loss of left arm. 
Pvt. John Foley, severe wounds in face, caused from

Major Timothy Mxirphy, gassed. 
Cpl. John J. Kiley, gassed. 
Lieut. Edward M. Boyd, gassed and shell shocked. 
Pvt. James Eccles, deafness from roaring of heavy guns. 

The following citations were issued to members of 
the Crescent Club: 

Pvt. John Sheehy, French Croix de Guerre with two 
stars for carrying wounded in his ambulance under 
heavy shell fire.

B. P. O. ELKS 

Yonkers Lodge No. 707. 

Among the patriotic orders of Yonkers who helped 
materially in the world war, and who could always be 
counted upon to do not only their best but to go the limit 
in service and in contributing to the different funds and 
the purchase of Liberty bonds, was Yonkers Lodge 
No. 707, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. 

The Elks were the first great national organization to 
give substantial sums to the government, not for bond 
issues, but as a direct contribution. Their first assess- 
ment upon their members was for a fund of one million 
dollars. This was paid for the estabUshment of a hos- 
pital. A subsequent donation of a million dollars was 
added to the original gift. 

Among other things, the national order contributed 



WHAT YONKERS CITIZENS DID AT HOME 



37 



sixty thousand dollars to the work of the Salvation 
Army, thereby financing the Salvation Army in the 
splendid work which they accomplished on the other 
side. 

The Order of Elks has built a hospital in Boston and 
given it to the United States government for the wounded 
soldiers. They also established a base hospital in France 
and were partners with the government in vocational 
training. They are now building a three million dollar 
memorial building in Chicago in honor of over a thousand 
members who made the supreme sacrifice in the service 
of their country. 

In all of these activities, Yonkers Lodge No. 707 did 
its share. When the war was declared, the local company 
of the Naval MiHtia was quartered at the Elks Club in 
Yonkers. They had organized largely through the efforts 
of members of Yonkers Lodge of Elks. At that time, 
the ranking ensign in the Naval Militia was Gerald 
Nolan, who was Esteemed Leading Knight in the Lodge. 
It was from the Elks Home that the Naval Mihtia marched 
away to quarters on the Granite State in New York City 
the day following the declaration of war. 

Some months after that, Draft Board No. i of the City 
of Yonkers, which handled more than nine thousand 
six hundred names of those in the district subject to 
draft, estabUshed their headquarters in the Elks Home, 
so that it will be seen that Yonkers Lodge No. 707 was 
really the centre of much patriotic work. Liberty Loan 
drives, drives to raise funds for Red Cross and the Knights 
of Columbus fund had quarters at the Elks Club, which 
gave the use of its club house generously to every 
patriotic movement. 

When the war was declared, the membership of Yonkers 
Lodge No. 707 was sLx hundred and eighty-four. Of that 
number fifty-seven enUsted in the service at the very 
beginning of the war. Twenty-five of the fifty-seven 
went across as commissioned officers in the Army and the 
Navy. At present, there are more than three hundred 
and fifty ex-service men in Yonkers Lodge. 



It is worthy of note that Thomas Tobin, who was 
Exalted Ruler at the declaration of war, was one of the 
first to enlist. The second chair, Esteemed Leading 
Knight, Gerald Nolan, went out with the first contingent 
of Naval Militia, and other ofiicers of the Lodge were 
among those who enlisted in the service of the nation. 

At the close of the war, a dinner was given to the re- 
turned service men of the Elks Lodge and the original 
fifty-seven were present and were each presented with a 
gold souvenir card case as a reminder of their service to 
the nation. 

Yonkers Lodge has been established for a great many 
years. Its first Exalted Ruler, head of the order, was 
the Hon. M. J. Walsh, then mayor of the City of Yonkers, 
and many men prominent in civic, professional and 
business affairs of Yonkers succeeded Mr. Walsh in that 
important office. 

Yonkers Lodge lived thoroughly up to its patriotic 
ideals during the war. It is first and last a patriotic 
order and thoroughly American in every particular. No 
organization that we know of extended itself further 
or did finer work in the service of the United States than 
the Elks and certainly no lodge of the Elks has a finer 
record than Yonkers Lodge No. 707 of our own city. 

The ofiicers of Yonkers Lodge No. 707 at the 
declaration of war, were: 

Thomas M. Tobin, Exalted Ruler 

Gerald Nolan, Esteemed Leading Knight 

A. J. Meyer, Esteemed Loyal Knight 

John M. Clark, Esteemed Lecturing Knight 

Elmer J. Craft, Secretary 

J. Frank Curran, Treasurer 

WiUiam C. Egan, Tiler 

John H. Keeler, Jr., Trustee 

James W. Hannigan, Trustee 

WilUam E. Folkes, Trustee 

William L. Bruce, Representative to Grand Lodge 

Edward P. Walsh, Alternate Representative to Grand 
Lodge

THE WOMEN OF YONKERS IN WAR WORK 

As THE men of Yonkers went forth to fight the enemy, so the women of Yonkers stood behind them with sincere 
effort at home. Indeed, some accompanied the soldiers overseas to minister to them, and to cheer them in 
days of stress, and battle. 
Yonkers honors its women for their noble part in its war activities. They spoke in public places, to see that 
money and comforts were not lacking for the cause. They toiled, they sewed, they knitted, they baked and cooked; 
they nursed the sick, and drove the ambulances that carried the wounded from ship to base hospital. No call too 
great, no service too difiicult, but the women of Yonkers rose to it, and accompUshed it. 

The following pages will give some Uttle insight into what the women of Yonkers did, to help their sons and broth- 
ers in battle, at a time when all in the community were working toward just one end, the winning of the war. 



YONKERS WOMEN'S LIBERTY LOAN 
COMMITTEES 

In the Liberty and Victory Loans, the work of Yon- 
kers women produced results which materially aided in 
making the loans a success. So efficient were their ac- 
tivities that other cities sent representatives to study 
the work of the local organization. When the final re- 
ports were made, Yonkers stood very near the top. 
In one loan it led the work, and in another, it stood 
second of the women's committees in the cities of the 
Second Federal Reserve District, which included West- 
chester and Rockland Counties in New York, and Fair- 
field County, Connecticut. 

The organization of the Liberty and Victory Loan 
Committees called for two chairmen in each locality, 
each appointed by the governor of the Federal Reserve 
Bank under authority of the Secretary of the Treasury. 
One of these headed the Woman's Committee. 

A meeting called on June 2, 1917, met at the Woman's 
Institute and perfected the permanent organization. 
The Committee organized and secured the cooperation 
of many representative women who acted as captains 
of teams, took charge of booths, soUcited at stations, 
put up posters, furnished automobiles, and did other 
essential work. 

The Committee began its labors at a time when few 
of those best informed believed it possible to sell many 
bonds in Yonkers, and its activities laid a solid foun- 
dation for good results. This group of hard-working 
patriotic women bent on serving their country, gave un- 
stntingly of time and effort, and helped mightily in those 
early days. During this loan, the Committee held public 
meetings, had speakers from New York, and secured 
from the Mayor the call for a public meeting at PhiUips- 

41 



burg Hall, where Mrs. August Belmont made a most 
inspiring address. 

At the close of the First Loan, the women reported 
^557.000 in subscriptions. 

The personnel of the following Loan Committees 
changed but little. In the Second Loan, the Committee 
moved Headquarters from the Flagg Building to the 
Red Cross Building, and in the Third Loan to the Proctor 
Building. For the Fourth and Fifth Loans, the Mayor 
placed a room in the City Hall at the service of the 
Committee. 

In the Third Loan, the organization of the Committee 
was still further extended. A Flying Squadron was 
organized and many able addresses were made. During 
the Third Loan, too, a house-to-house canvass was made 
for subscriptions, canvassers thoroughly covering the 
entire city by districts. The reports turned in by the 
Committee fully justified the arduous labor involved. 
Results of the Third Liberty Loan showed a total of 
6,145 subscriptions, amounting to $1,102,800. 

The Fourth Liberty Loan proved most successful, al- 
though some of the leading aids to the Chairman found 
it impossible to continue their work as it had been handled 
during the Third Loan. 

Another large mass meeting was arranged at Philhps- 
burg Hall, and the Liberty Hut was furnished with 
speakers and soHcitors. The Chairman of the Counters 
Committee reported 422 subscriptions totalhng $101,850. 
The Jewish Meetings Committee Chairman returned to 
the credit of the Woman's Committee the splendid re- 
sults of a meeting at Temple Emanu-El, which alone 
amounted to $314,950 in bonds taken by 373 subscribers. 

There was no house-to-house canvass during the 
Fourth Loan, but organizations made themselves into 
sub-committees under the leadership of the member

care for them for the duration of the war, or longer, if 
necessary. These two Httle girls, Helene Sogny of Cou- 
lommes, near Reims, and Jenny Caullery of Beaufort, 
were cared for and clothed for three years. The letters 
and cards received from these children and their moth- 
ers show deep gratitude and appreciation for the inter- 
est and support which their "Marraines Americaines" 
have shown them in their days of sorrow and distress. 

During its active existence, the Yonkers Unit sent to 
France a total of i,6oo garments. In addition to the 
refugee work, 150 comfort bags were sent to the 104th 
Field Artillery, U.S.A. (better known as the old Second 
Field Artillery of the New York National Guard), at 
Spartanburg, S. C. 

A number of knitted quilts and boxes containing com- 
forts appreciated by soldier boys were sent to near-by 
hospitals. 

Miss Macbean, Chairman; Miss Alice M. Edgar, 
Secretary and Treasurer. 

WOMAN'S AUXILIARY OF 
COMPANY G 

This group of women, composed of relatives of men 
in the Company, was organized November i, 1917. Their 
purpose was to follow the welfare of the Company mem- 
bers, and to engage in war rehef generally. They remained 
in active service until June, 1919, during which time they 
met once a week at the Armory. The group financed 
itself, making and shipping abroad through the National 
Surgical Dressings Committee and the Stage Women's 
War Relief, 5,638 pieces of material. It also made 
112 knitted articles, and contributed liberally to the 
Red Cross drives. 

Officers 

Mrs. Albert C. Bogert, President; Miss Maria Hackett, 
Secretary; Mrs. William H. Lewis, Treasurer. 

COMFORTS COMMITTEE OF 
CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS 

This Committee was a branch of the Comforts For- 
warding Committee of Christian Scientists of New York, 
to which all finished articles were sent. These were in 
turn distributed by them through the various war re- 
lief committees, or directly. The Committee was or- 
ganized February 19, 1918, and discontinued May 29, 
1919. About twenty women met weekly to sew and 
knit at rooms provided gratuitously by the Woman's 
Institute. Under the head of reconstruction work, gar- 
ments were made for French and Belgian refugees, and 
pillows, quilts, and bathrobes for the inmates of hospitals 
throughout the country. 

Knitted articles, socks, wristlets, sweaters, caps, were 
made for service men, and, after the war, for French and 
Belgian children. A total of 1,710 reconstruction articles 



was turned in, with 897 knitted artic'es. $1,626.90 in 
money was received and disbursed by the Committee.

YONKERS SECTION 
COUNCIL OF JEWISH WOMEN 

Activity in all branches of war services was the watch- 
word of the Yonkers Section, Council of Jewish Women. 
Various members served with Temple Emanu-El of the 
Red Cross. Others made surgical dressings at Manor 
House. 

In May, 1918, the Council formed a Committer on 
Civic and Communal Affairs to take part in campaigns 
and drives. During the War Savings Stamps Campaign 
in May, 1918, the Section took charge of the Liberty Hut 
erected on South Broadway near Getty Square for the 
eight hours of time assigned to it by the campaign chair- 
man. It had to its credit on that occasion sales amount- 
ing to $138.46, the second highest eight-hour record for 
any women's organization in the city. The committee 
also assisted materially in the Second Red Cross Drive, 
June, 1918. It took part in the Loyalty Parade, July 4, 
1918, and contributed toward the Jewish Section of the 
parade. 

During the summer of 1918, the Section collected over 
$114 from among its members for furlough houses in 
France. The Campaign Section sold 481 bonds totalling 
$66,900 during the Fourth Liberty Loan in the fall of 1918. 

A Hospitality Committee was formed about this time. 
Out of town soldiers studying at Saunders Trade School, 
and billeted in the Armory were entertained frequently 
in the homes of members. Each Wednesday two dozen 
large home-made cakes were sent to the Armory. The 
boys were urged to attend church or synagogue, and 
Jewish boys were entertained in the homes on Jewish 
hoUdays. In the autumn of 191 8, when the influenza 
epidemic raged, home-made jellies and broths were sent 
to the Armory with the cake. 

The first class in English for foreign-born women was 
formed in Yonkers by the Section, in December, 191 8. 
All national hohdays were explained and observed fittingly. 

On February 18, 1919, members of the Hospitality 
Committee acted as hostesses to enUsted men and club 
girls at a dance at Hollywood Inn under the auspices of 
the War- Camp Community Service. 

The Section distributed hterature on Food Conserva- 
tion during the winter of 1918 and 1919- It also col- 
lected statistics on the war service of American Jews 
for the Jewish Welfare Board. In April, 1919, the Sec- 



44 



YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



tion sold 300 bonds of the Victory Loan, amounting to 
$156,550. 

During the summer of 1919, the Section cooperated 
with the U.S. Employment Bureau, and found work for 
four ex-service men. 

Officers 

Mrs. Harry Lavine, Honorary President; Mrs. Max 
Schlesinger, Mrs. Max Lichtenstadter, Honorary Vice- 
Presidents; Mrs. Jules Hart, President; Mrs. Max Sam- 
uels, 1st Vice-President; Mrs. Jacob G. Cohen, 2d Vice- 
President; Mrs. A. B. Steiner, Treasurer; Mrs. A. A. 
Harris, Auditor; Mrs. I. Grob, Recording Secretary; 
Mrs. J. C. Menkin, Corresponding Secretary. 

LADIES' AUXILIARY OF THE 
HOLLYWOOD INN CLUB 

The mothers, wives and sisters of the service men of 
the Hollywood Inn Club decided that in order to do 
the greatest possible good, it was necessary to organize 
and work as a unit. Hence the formation of the Ladies' 
Auxiliary of the Hollywood Inn Club. 

The auxiliary gave dances, entertainments and dinners 
to our men in uniform. On New Year's Day, 1918, 
Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day dur- 
ing this year, every uniformed man who happened to 
be in the city was most hospitably welcomed to these 
festivities. 

In order to convey an idea of the spirit that prevailed, 
a paragraph from a local newspaper is quoted, dwelUng 
upon the activities of this organization on Memorial 
Day, 1918: 

"About 300 uniformed men from all branches of 
the service were the guests of the Ladies' Auxiliary 
of the Hollywood Inn Club yesterday. From early 
afternoon until midnight they feasted and danced 
to their hearts' content, and once again the ladies 
went home happy and tired after the end of a per- 
fect day. The men of the U.S.S. Preble were pretty 
much in evidence." 

LADY BORDEN CHAPTER, DAUGHTERS 
OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE, OF YONKERS 

The chapter was organized on April 15, 1915, with a 
limited membership of ten. Materials were made up, 
and shipments sent regularly by the workers. Count- 
less numbers of the chapter's friends entrusted sums of 
money, large and small, to be spent for the surgical 
suppUes sent to Madame Rolston, President of the Red 
Cross, of Brittany, France, and the head of twenty hos- 
pitals there. 

She reported in the fall of 1916, saying: "The supplies 
are arriving in a fairly steady stream, and through our 
efforts the hospitals were increased from twelve to 
twenty." 



During the ether shortage in miUtary hospitals the 
chapter made great efforts at relief. A letter received 
from one hospital worker after the first shipment says- 
"I must tell you that that precious shipment has ar- 
rived. Some hospitals were out entirely, and some on 
their last bottle." Another: "When the last shipment 
of ether came, our special hospitals were without any, 
so you can imagine the almost frantic joy with which it 
was received. Again my most earnest gratitude and 
thanks to our dear Americans." 

The war work of the chapter included every conceivable 
kind of activity. Money was sent to Italy to be used 
for tubercular children; to the Sailors' Rest Home in 
England, and to the British Home for Aged Men and 
Women at West New Brighton, Long Island. Cases of 
relief materials were sent to Halifax after the disaster there. 

The chapter contributed $1,600 toward the expenses 
of the ambulance sent to France by the people of Yonkers. 
It equipped two ambulance drivers, sent them to France 
and kept them there for six months. Two cars were 
given outright, one by Col. Holland S. Duell, and the 
other by Mr. W. B. Thompson. In all the chapter con- 
tributed a total of $6,814.62 for ambulance work, and 
$31,567.10 for other work, making a grand total of 
$38,381.72. 

The chapter was fortunate in having many benefactors 
who aided in various ways. Mr. John Wood and the 
Board of Directors of ClafHin and Co., at their meetings, 
voted many of the chapter's bills as paid. The Waring 
Hat, Marshall Matheson, and Morrissey companies 
furnished free all the shipping cases. The Lewis Gauze 
Manufacturing Company always kept an enormous 
supply of gauze on hand, no matter where the chapter's 
account stood. Mr. Felix Dupont contributed 1,000 
pounds of ether, and sold the remainder which the chap- 
ter used at about one-third the wholesale market price. 
Mr. C. C. Dula gave 100 pounds of tobacco, which was 
sent to a Canadian regiment in France. 

AMERICAN FUND FOR FRENCH 
WOUNDED — YONKERS BRANCH 

The Yonkers Branch of the American Fund for French 
Wounded, organized early in 1916, made and sent to 
France more than 21,000 hospital and refugee garments, 
800 comfort bags, and 200 pairs of blankets. The con- 
tributions for this work were $3,906.98, and there was 
spent for materials $3,326.91. 

A hospital was purchased at Nancy, France, for tuber- 
cular children. This hospital is a thank oSering to France, 
and to it, the balance on hand in the treasury of the 
Yonkers Branch will be devoted. A tablet to be placed 
on the wall of the building will contain, among others, the 
name of the Yonkers Branch. The property is situated 
about two and one-half miles from the city of Nancy, on 
a terraced hill commanding a beautiful view.

The building will contain 75 beds, endowed for $6,000 
each by members of the Fund, and others. These funds 
will provide for running the hospital in perpetuity. 
Great interest in the project has been shown by M. 
Mirman, formerly prefect, and now Governor of this 
section of Lorraine, who personally played a heroic part 
in the war. 

Executive Committee 

Mrs. George R. Bunker, Chairman; Mrs. Samuel B, 
Hawley, Miss Susan B. Waring, Mrs. Alex B. Halliday. 

YONKERS HOMEOPATHIC HOSPITAI. 
AND MATERNITY 

The Yonkers Homeopathic Hospital and Maternity 
was organized by a group of twelve women in 1891 and 
was incorporated in May, 1896. At first, the hospital 
itself was merely a basket and a nurse. Under the care 
of the women the basket has grown into a building, and 
many nurses have superseded the one. 

When it was suggested that a room might be estab- 
lished in memory of the Yonkers boys who went to war 
and made the supreme sacrifice, the idea was welcomed 
by all the managers, and such a room, called the Memo- 
rial Room, was established in 1919. This room has been 
occupied a number of times. Any man who has in any 
way served in the great war, may be the guest of the 
hospital while he is ill. 

Officers for 1919 

Mrs. WiUiam C. Beer, President; Mrs. W. W. Middle- 
brook, Vice-President; Mrs. Eldridge W. Jones, 2d Vice- 
President; Mrs. Charles C. Pierce, Secretary; Mrs. James 
Gelston AfHeck, Treasurer; Mrs. WiUiam R. Gregg, 
Corresponding Secretary. 

NEEDLEWORK GUILD OF AMERICA 
YONKERS BRANCH 

The Yonkers Guild formed its War Relief Branch 
in June, 1916. The branch met each Tuesday at the 
Woman's Institute. 15,023 surgical dressings were made 
in these quarters. After some months, the Red Cross 
specified that all work was to be done in its rooms under 
supervision. The group then worked at Red Cross 
Headquarters. Many cases of hospital and refugee gar- 
ments, and baby outfits, in which the organization spe- 
ciaUzed, were shipped directly to the Headquarters of 
the Guild in Lyons, France. 

When refugees returned to such homes as were left in 
the devastated area, the Guild established dispensing 
headquarters in St. Quentin, which it adopted, together 
with surrounding towns. This terrain was included in 
the famed Hindenburg Line, and was fought over by 
both sides for three years. 

In all, over 17,500 articles were sent over, worth about 
$8,000. There were also sent three sewing machines 



equipped with scissors, thread, etc., and $10 to special 
canteen work in France. Jellies, books, pillows, and 
other comforts were sent to Gun Hill Road Hospital, 
East View, and the Girls' Division War Camp Community. 

BELGIAN RELIEF 

In 1914, at the very beginning of the war, when every- 
thing here was a cry for peace, the destitution of Belgium 
was brought very vividly to my mind. A group of neigh- 
bors began to make clothes for refugee women and chil- 
dren. This little group, which met at the homes of five 
of the founders, grew very quickly into an organization 
of about forty-two. Many of these ladies took up cor- 
respondence with one of the soldiers, or one of the refu- 
gees, and as the war developed, these groups worked for 
both soldiers and refugees. By degrees, several of the 
churches formed sewing groups, and sent the goods to 
our center. 

In the meantime, I had inserted several advertisements 
in the newspapers, asking for clothing, and the upper 
story of our garage was turned into a packing establish- 
ment, for the response was immediate and generous. 

From Yonkers, the work branched to all parts of the 
country. This is a letter received from the Director of 
the American Red Cross at Poultney, Vermont: 

"I remember your splendid helpful letters, and 
how our little group of Vermont women made socks 
and pajamas for your Belgian Relief long before 
'Our War' began; and how this simple act of service 
awakened a sense of interest and responsibiUty that 
later placed Poultney Branch foremost in New Eng- 
land activities, as we were conmiandeered by the 
War Department to make hemorrhage pads of 
cellu-cotton. I travelled over thirty thousand miles 
organizing Red Cross work, and later was made su- 
perintendent of the Red Cross Hospital. But it 
was always the same little group of women, my ' Bel- 
gian Guard,' above all others, who gave the great- 
est loyalty, help and love." 

The remembrance of the spirit with which my neigh- 
bors took up the work of Belgian Relief will remain an 
inspiration, and it is with a feeHng of gratitude and 
reverence to our departed Mrs. Longacre, that all of us 
who worked in this neighborhood will remember her 
untiring and devoted assistance in the work. For almost 
two years, she had a meeting once a week in her house, 
as she took charge of cutting the boys' clothings. — 
Report of Mrs. L. H. Baekeland. 

KESKESKICK CHAPTER, D. A. R. 

The Keskeskick Chapter, D. A. R., consisting of one 
hundred members, at once offered itself to the war cause, 
when the call for service came. 

Three of its members served overseas with the 



46 



YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



Y. M. C. A. Canteen Service. The Chapter did not 
work as a Red Cross Unit, but each member belonged 
to a Red Cross Auxiliary. Meetings occurred every 
Friday for two years. Articles were prepared for the 
Red Cross, Navy League, and Daughters of the British 
Empire. About 9,000 articles were made. Seven hun- 
dred articles were knitted and one hundred garments 
mended. 

During the Liberty and Victory Loans, the D. A. R. 
sold about $75,000 worth of bonds in all. The members 
participated in all the local war rallies. One of the big 
calls was from the National Society, D. A. R., when the 
Chapter was asked to help raise $25,000 for civihan reHef 
in France. Money was given to the Blind ReHef War 
Fund, to the Y. W. C. A. and the Charity Organization. 
The Chapter raised $500 for purchasing sewing material. 

Comfort bags and other articles were made for a unit 
of Polish men who went from Yonkers to serve with the 
Polish Army. The Chapter also made many mattresses 
for the men stationed on the aqueduct. 

Feehng the necessity of encouraging all patriotic en- 
deavor, the Chapter redoubled its regular work in the 
pubhc schools, offering additional prizes for patriotic 
essays, and amplifying its English course to foreigners. 
The Chapter took a bond in each Liberty Loan, and gave 
$100 towards the National Society's $100,000 bond 
subscription. The use of the Chapter room was given 
one day a week to the Daughters of the British Empire 
and the Motor Corps. 

The Regent of the Chapter was chairman of the West- 
chester Canteen for eighteen months, and local chair- 
man of the Red Cross for several months. The treas- 
urer was secretary of the local Red Cross. The Yonkers 
Navy League found its inception in the D. A. R., and one 
of its members was the first chairman. 

There were thirty-five sons of Daughters in the serv- 
ice, and of these, five gave their lives. 

The officers of the Chapter follow: Mrs. John C. Ten 
Eyck, Regent; Mrs. F. A. Crandall, Vice-Regent; Mrs. 
Paul du Breuil, Recording Secretary; Mrs. Maximilian 
Grab, Corresponding Secretary; Miss E. P. Hale, Regis- 
trar; Mrs. WilHam J. Kraft, Treasurer; Mrs. C. A. 
RundaU, Assistant Treasurer; Mrs. J. J. Zimmele, His- 
torian; Mrs. A. R. Westcott, Manager. 

KITCHING CORPS NO. 229, W. R. C. 

AUXILIARY OF KITCHING POST, 

G. A. R. 

Although none of the members of Kitchmg Post were 
so fortunate as to do service abroad, twenty-five per cent 
of its members gave sons, husbands, brothers and other 
male relatives to the cause. 

During the Liberty Loan campaigns, the Corps bought 
$150 worth of bonds. Individual members subscribed 
for 125 bonds, and sold twenty-five. 



The Corps made 250 garments for the Red Cross, 
assisted with refugee, reclamation and surgical dress- 
ings work, and knitted thirty sweaters, socks and hehnets. 

In March, 191 7, the Corps made and sold a quilt for 
the benefit of the Red Cross. During that month, small 
American flags were presented to 100 Yonkers drafted 
men, to cheer them on their way to Camp Upton. Dur- 
ing November, donations were sent to the United War 
Work Campaign, and to the tobacco fund of Company G, 
at Spartanburg. 

On Memorial Day, 1918, the officers and men of the 
gunboat Wasp, the Home Guard, and the Boy Scouts 
were guests at a luncheon given by the G. A. R. in the 
new armory, and served by the Corps members. 

One of the Corps members compiled the records for the 
Yonkers Honor RoU, and three members served on the 
Mayor's Reception Committee to Returned Veterans. 

WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE PARTY 

The Women's Supfrage Party of Yonkers took com- 
plete charge of the military census for the city, as that 
work in the entire county of Westchester was given to 
the Suffrage Party. The city was divided into five pre- 
cincts, supervised from a central office. With the help 
of canvassers and interpreters in each headquarters, the 
citizens of Yonkers, including the very large foreign- 
born element, were successfully enrolled. 

The Suffrage Party took a large share in the Liberty 
Loan and Thrift Stamp campaigns, during which sub- 
scriptions were taken at party headquarters. The mem- 
bers of the Executive Board were upon the Executive 
Committee of the Liberty Loan and Thrift Stamp cam- 
paigns in many wards and districts. 

The Red Cross drives, and the regular work of the 
Red Cross were also largely aided. The organization 
made a specialty of spreading Hoover food messages, and 
of teaching women how to economize in the use of the 
materials suggested. 

A knitting school was established at headquarters, and 
yarns were furnished to all women who would learn to 
knit for soldiers. 

Mrs. Bertha Ives was suffeage leader during the war 
period. 

NATIONAL SURGICAL DRESSINGS 
COMMITTEE YONKERS BRANCH 

The Yonkers Branch of the National Surgical Dress- 
ings Committee was started in June, 1916. A building 
on the grounds of the residence of Mrs. E. J. Elting, 
57 Locust Hill Avenue, was converted into a workroom. 
Many thousands of dressings were made and shipped 
to French and British hospitals. The work was under 
the direction of Miss Jean Reid and Miss Laura Elting. 

The Otis Auxiliary, composed of girls from the plant 
of the Otis Manufacturing Company, was started in

April, 1917. Between that date and June, 1919, the Aux- 
iliary made 38,697 dressings and articles. 

In the spring of 1918, the Yonkers Branch of the 
National Surgical Dressings Committee merged with 
the local branch of the Red Cross. 

Officers 

Miss Laura Elting, Chairman; Mrs. Grace Burch 
Walkup, Treasurer; Mrs. Elton G. Littell, Secretary.

Miss Laura Elting. 

Work Directors for Otis Auxiliary: Mrs. Edward A. 
Fitch, Miss Laura Elting, Miss Gertrude E. Kelly. 

NATIONAL LEAGUE FOR WOMEN'S 
SERVICE — YONKERS BRANCH 

The Yonkers Branch of the National League for 
Women's Service was organized in February, 1917, with 
office room in the Ethan Flagg Building, Getty Square. 

Its first work was to secure the registration of the 
women ready to volunteer their services in times of 
emergency, and to organize the women in fields of 
endeavor in which they could give assistance, should 
the United States enter the war. Thirteen local women's 
organizations affihated with the National League. 

The Agricultural Committee, Mrs. Peter Fletcher and 
Miss Jean Reid representing the League, met with the 
Mayor's Committee in April, 191 7, to consider the estab- 
lishment of war gardens in the city. The League office 
became a war garden apphcation bureau. With a large 
force of volunteer woman workers, complete files of 
property available for gardens, and of individuals desir- 
ing plots were arranged. This work was continued in 
cooperation with the Mayor's Committee for two years. 

One hundred and fifty women were trained for canteen 
service, and taken over by the Red Cross for that work. 
A motor class was organized. Members of the organi- 
zation took active part in the preparation of the military 
census. 

A training class for volunteers in social service work 
was formed, which was conducted by the General Secre- 
tary of the Charity Organization Society. The National 
League awarded a printed certificate to the graduates, 
who went into the Home Service Section of the Red Cross. 

When the news of the Hahfax disaster came, six large 
cases of clothing were packed and shipped, and money 
was contributed for relief. 

During the Liberty Loan drives women of the League 
were in charge of the hut at the Liberty Theatre, and at 
Proctor's. 

In January, 1918, the National League with other 
branches throughout the county went to work at Pelham 



Bay Canteen, where over 3,000 naval recruits were in 
training. Yonkers was one of the eight units in the 
county. Mrs. Peter Fletcher took the chairmanship of 
this work, and the following served as captains of ten 
teams each: Miss Leonora Hobart, Mrs. Morton Howard, 
Mrs. Nathaniel Piatt, Mrs. M. D. Howard, Mrs. E. V. 
Connolly, Miss Mary McElroy, Mrs. Travers D. Carman, 
Mrs. H. E. Parker, Mrs. Arthur T. Boddington, Miss 
M. L. Gumming, Miss Helen Kraft, Mrs. WilMam J. 
Kraft. 

Officers 
Miss Florence J. Parsons, County and Local Chairman; 
Mrs. Harry L. Parr, Vice-Chair man; Miss Gertrude 
Builford, Secretary; Mrs. W. J. Kraft, Treasurer. 

Advisory Committee 
Mrs. John Reid, Mrs. George R. Bunker, Mrs. John C. 
Ten Eyck, Mrs. Walter M. Taussig, Mrs. Peter Fletcher, 
Mrs. J. E. Thompson, Mrs. Travers D. Carman, Miss 
Alice Beer, Mrs. Algernon Schaefer. 

Agricultiiral Committee 
Mrs. Peter Fletcher, Miss Jean Reid. 

YONKERS SUNSHINE SOCIETY 

The Yonkers Sunshine Society was among the 
first organizations to cooperate in all branches of war 
work. It had charge of the Red Cross room at the City 
Hall on Wednesdays. After the Surgical Dressings De- 
partment was changed to Manor Hall, the Chairman of 
the Sunshine Red Cross Committee was director there 
on Fridays. 

Five hundred comfort bags were made, filled, and dis- 
tributed. Jelhes, fruit and magazines were sent to camps 
and hospitals, while many garments and knitted articles 
were made by the members and shipped to Europe. 

A team of Sunshine workers took part in every war 
drive and rally. Every officer and member did her duty 
to help our country and our boys preserve American 
integrity and honor. 

COMFORTS COMMITTEE, U.S. NAVY 
LEAGUE — YONKERS BRANCH 

This committee was organized in April, 1917. For 
nearly two years the committee occupied an office in the 
Flagg Building, and for four months an office in the Philips- 
burg Building. These rooms were given through the kind- 
ness of Mr. Edward C. Heald and Mr. Anson Baldwin. 

The main work of the committee was the knitting of 
woolen garments and the making of comfort kits for 
sailors. This work was afterwards extended to cover 
all branches of the service. Garments are still being 
made, at the time of pubUcation, for the Seamen's In- 
stitute Church Society of New York City. 

Over 7,000 knitted garments and kits were completed 
and distributed. The committee collected several hun- 



48 



YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



dred partly worn garments. Most of these were sent to 
France, but a few were turned over to the Charity 
Organization Society and to the Salvation Army for the 
poor of Yonkers. The Yonkers members of the Navy 
League, for two years, gave money for the support of 
orphans of French sailors, and sent them Christmas 
boxes. These children will also be helped in the years 
to come, unless it be decided otherwise. 

The thanks of the branch are due to many citizens of 
Yonkers for aid in this work. Thirty-six people served in 
the offices of the branch at various times. One thousand 
and fourteen furnished knitted articles. The greatest 
amount of knitting received from any one person came 
from Mrs. Duncan Smith, a lady over 90 years old, who 
made knitting for the Navy League her entire war work. 
She knitted and contributed 89 sweaters. 

Various societies cooperated with the branch, either 
by giving money, or by aiding in the work. Prominent 
among these were the American Red Cross, the American 
Fund for French Wounded, Daughters of the American 
Revolution, the Girls' Friendly Society of St. John's 
Church, the Girls' Patriotic League, the Ladies' Auxil- 
iary of the Y. M. C. A., No. 9 School, the Otis Red Cross 
Auxihary, Red Cross Units of the Presbyterian Church, 
the Saunders Trade School, Temple Emanu-El, the Sun- 
day School of the Nepperhan Baptist Church, the Suf- 
frage Association, the Tuesday Club, the Women's 
Auxiliary of Company G, and the Young Women's 
Hebrew Association. 

A gift of $350 was received from the City of Yonkers 
with which wool for knitting was bought. In addition to 
this, the city authorized two tag days, and considerable 
money was raised by women who organized parties at 
which funds were collected for the branch. The entire 
amount of money expended by the Comforts Committee 
was shghtly over $6,000. In June, 1919, its war work 
completed, the office of the Branch was closed. 

Officers 

Chairmen, Mrs. Thomas Hale, Jr., April-July, 191 7, 
Organizer; Mrs. Fraser Brown, July, 1917-May, 1918; 
Helen Nelthrop Harrington, May, 1918-. Mary Louise 
King, Treasurer. 

Comforts Committee: Mary Louise King, Secretary,

May, 1918-. 

WOMAN'S INSTITUTE 

The trustees of the Woman's Institute gladly gave the 
use of rooms rent free to various war work organizations. 
This meant as well the use of the telephone and facilities 
for making afternoon tea. These organizations were: 
Lady Borden Chapter, Imperial Order Daughters of the 
British Empire, American Fund for French Wounded, 
Needlework Guild, Comforts Committee of Christian 
Scientists, Red Cross Home Nursing Classes, Head- 



quarters for the War Camp Community Service, Girls'

Note. Miss Susie L. Heermance, First Vice President, 
and Miss Pauhne Heermance resigned their posts with 
the Institute to go overseas with the Y. M. C. A. 

WOMAN'S INSTITUTE CLUB 

The Woman's Institute Club, a department of the 
Woman's Institute, took an active part in the war work 
of Yonkers. The club supphed workers for the theatres 
in all the drives, and organized a class in Red Cross 
home nursing and first aid. Assistance in surgical work 
was also given. 

The club gave its large room to the Red Cross home 
nursing classes. Twelve classes, with twenty-one sessions, 
weekly, were held for nearly a year. 

The club purchased two Liberty bonds, was represented 
in the various patriotic demonstrations, and organized 
a group of hostesses for dances and receptions given to 
service men. 

Contributions were sent to the Serbian Relief, and 
Red Cross memberships were increased through the 
club's activities. 

Officers for 1917-1918 

Mrs. Earl P. Lasher, President; Miss Ethel V. Lewis, 
First Vice President; Miss Agnes Simpson, Second Vice 
President; Miss Adele E. Pearson, Secretary; Miss 
Margaret Conley, Treasurer; Miss Estelle Schall, Assist- 
ant Secretary-Treasurer. 

YONKERS YOUNG WOMEN'S 
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION 

When the news first came that two hundred or more 
men were immediate neighbors, the Young Women's 
Christian Association realized that something must be 
done! Of course the girls would flock, and of course 
the girls and men would flock together, and how the in- 
evitable might be tactfully managed so that the right 
people should meet each other was our problem.

THE WOMEN OF YONKERS IN WAR WORK 



49 



First of all the Y. W. C. A. collected the girls, and 
announced the formation of a Hostess Club to which all 
girls over eighteen who wished to entertain our soldier 
neighbors during the summer might belong. The invi- 
tation was made very general, and about a hundred 
girls responded. For three hot summer evenings, a wise 
woman physician (supplied by the Commission on Social 
MoraUty) talked to these girls on constructive patriotism, 
and hospitality. 

Each Tuesday evening the Hostess Club entertained 
anywhere from eighty to two hundred men at the Hostess 
House at 87 South Broadway. A group of older women 
acted as chaperones. The girls wore a "uniform" con- 
sisting of a middy blouse and white or blue skirt and a 
red armband. These Tuesday evenings were not alike, 
but the Secretary in charge always had in her mind a 
definite program of games for a large group; "stunts" 
for a few; folk dances and a limited amount of social 
dancing, which could be adapted as the evening pro- 
gressed. An interesting fact was the preference of most 
of the crowd for games with "snap" rather than for 
dancing, although dancing is what they talked about. 

The other feature of the Hostess Club plan was the 
informal Sunday suppers. A general invitation was 
issued through the local press to the churches to vol- 
unteer to serve supper at the Y. M. C. A. Building, and 
the response was immediate and hearty. The plan was 
for the ladies of whatever church was responsible for 
that particular Sunday to serve an attractive and abun- 
dant supper at small tables in the gymnasium, using a 
selected number of the club girls as hostesses, one for 
each table, usually. After supper everyone helped clear 
away the dishes and push back the tables, and then the 
majority of the men stayed for an evening of general 
singing and sociabihty, with a short program of special 
music, and often a brief talk. 

The Y. W. C. A. threw open its doors to the women 
friends and relatives of the men, and the hostesses were 
deUghted to be able to be of some real "Hostess House" 
service. 

The building belonging to the Association at 27 South 
Broadway was given as a headquarters to the Yonkers 
Branch of the American Red Cross. It was so used for 
many months, and when it was vacated for larger space, 
the Red Cross Canteen was established there for a year. 
This building was also used as Knights of Columbus 
headquarters during their war fund drive, and by the 
Women's Committee of the Liberty Loan during the 
First Liberty Loan drive. 

The Association Building at 87 South Broadway was 
used by the Salvation Army for its drives. The very 
closest cooperation was carried on between this organi- 
zation and the Association. 

As its contribution to the War Camp Community 
Service, the Y. W. C. A. gave the secretary a home for 
three months. The use of the Girls' Club room of the 



Y. W. C. A. was given to the Red Cross Canteen, which 
prepared three meals a day there for the soldiers at 
Saunders Trade School. 

Surgical dressings classes were held weekly. Units for 
making refugee and hospital garments were organized. 
War drives always found the Y. W. C. A. participating 
actively. 

The Association realized early, that with the with- 
drawal of so many wage-earners, there would be a call 
upon the women left behind, to assist in supporting their 
families. It opened a Women's Exchange, and many 
women were helped to find self-supporting employment 
during the two years of operation. 

All the Board members and the staff gave freely of 
time and effort. Three members of the Board of Direc- 
tors lost sons in the war. This did not in any way change 
their fields of usefulness, as they continued to work all 
the more earnestly. They felt then, that there was a 
double duty to carry on the work so early laid down by 
those beloved sons. The Association also felt the real 
call of war when the General Secretary and the Girls' 
Work Secretary were released, the former to become 
Girls' Work Secretary of the National Y. W. C. A., and 
the latter to go overseas. 

Mrs. John C. Ten Eyck, President; Miss Lillian M. 
Clark, Vice President; Mrs. A. C. Dodge, Vice President; 
Mrs. A. M. Palmer, Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. E. R. 
Holden, Secretary; Mrs. George S. Prince, Treasurer; 
Mrs. F. A. Winslow, Finance Chairman. 

Secretaries: Miss Helen Sanders, General Secretary, 
Miss Helen Price, Girls' Work. 

YONKERS YOUNG WOMEN'S HEBREW 
ASSOCIATION 

The local Young Women's Hebrew Association coop- 
erated with the various branches of work conducted by the 
National League for Women's Service, as well as the War 
Camp Community Service. The majority of its members 
enrolled in both these organizations. They served on can- 
teen duty at various cantonments and studied various 
trades, such as telegraphy and office methods, in case 
they were called for emergency work in camps. 

The activities of Y. M. H. A. girls were greatly am- 
plified in the extensive Red Cross work which they en- 
tered. The majority of the senior members are the proud 
possessors of the small Red Cross, designating at least 
fifteen hours of work for the American Red Cross. 

Association members used every spare moment of 
their time, often while riding to and from their homes, 
to knit sweaters, scarfs, wristlets, and helmets for serv- 
ice men. During the influenza epidemic, they made 
gauze masks and sickroom requisites under Red Cross 
direction. Slings and bandages, for soldiers, and booties 
and quilts for the babies of the other side, were also made. 

Block parties, amusements, home dinners, and rides 



so 



YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



were planned for the soldiers stationed at the Saunders 
Trade School. One very large party was given by the 
Y. M. C. A. in conjunction with the Girls' Social Serv- 
ice League, at the clubhouse of the Y. M. H. A. About 
150 soldiers attended. Refreshments, tobacco and cigar- 
ettes were passed about. The evening was voted a great 
success, and the soldiers gave the verdict that the Yonkers 
way was the best way of entertaining they had met since 
leaving their home towns. 

YONKERS DETACHMENT OF THE 

WESTCHESTER COUNTY RED CROSS 

MOTOR CORPS 

The Yonkers Detachment of the Red Cross Motor 
Corps was organized in May, 1918, under the Chairman 
of Military ReHef in Yonkers, Mrs. Walter Hodgman, 
and the Assistant Director of Motor Corps Service of 
the Atlantic Division of the Red Cross, Dr. Dorothy 
Smyley, Commander. 

The Yonkers Detachment was composed of twenty- 
five members. This number included ambulance drivers 
and members who drove their own cars, but were not 
in ambulance service. 

In August, 1918, the Yonkers Lodge of Elks presented 
to the Detachment a Ford ambulance and blankets, and 
in September, the Hillview Auxihary of the Yonkers 
Branch presented another Ford and blankets. A Ford 
station wagon was bought by a number of interested 
people, and in October, Mrs. George P. Butler lent 
a Cadillac ambulance to be used during the war, 
in memory of her husband, George Prentiss Butler. 
Several members operated their own cars at personal 
expense, in this way contributing most generously to 
the cause. Mr. Ralph Hibbard and Mr. William 
Shrive gave free use of their garages, as well as oil 
and gasohne at cost price. Mrs. George Butler also 
gave her garage, while Mr. Taussig suppUed the cars 
with chains. 

During August, 1918, the Yonkers Detachment drilled, 
in Central Park, the Y. M. C. A. men who were going 
overseas. 

In September, 1918, seven members of the Yonkers 
Detachment, with an ambulance, were ordered to the 
State Fair at Hartford, Conn., to give exhibition drills 
and to handle emergency cases at the fair. The Detach- 
ment was there three days; gave stretcher drills twice 
a day, and transported its first patient to a local hospital. 
A detachment from New Rochelle relieved the Yonkers 
contingent. 

The Yonkers Detachment transported supplies from 
White Plains to the workrooms of the Yonkers Branch 
of the Red Cross, and distributed the work to the various 
auxiliaries. It carried canteen workers to the Bryn Mawr 
canteen. Yonkers and Dobbs Ferry canteen workers were 
transported every week to and from General Hospital 



No. 38 at Eastview from February, 1919, until July, 
1919. During the summer of 1918, the Reclamation 
Garments sent to Yonkers by the government for repair 
were transported to the local schools. 

The Motor Corps assisted in all the war work drives. 
At Christmas, 1918, its cars were used to distribute din- 
ners for the Salvation Army and the Red Cross. Over 
fifty stockings were filled by contributions and taken to 
the Red Cross House at General Hospital No. i. Gun 
HiU Road. 

On September 29, 1918, the Yonkers Detachment re- 
ceived the first call for the influenza epidemic, from the 
Yonkers Armory, where United States soldiers were sta- 
tioned. Many patients were removed to the Contagious 
Hospital, and physicians transported there. District 
unrses were carried from place to place in the city. Calls 
were answered for the Yonkers Homeopathic Hospital 
and for Fordham Hospital, where day and night shifts 
were on duty. 

In the meantime, the Army called upon the Red Cross 
for assistance, and the Corps was ordered to General 
Hospital No. i, U.S.A., on Gun Hill Road, where it was 
stationed for five months. Members of the Corps were 
on duty at the Perth Amboy catastrophe several days, 
and also at Bayshore, Long Island, during the grounding 
of the transport Great Northern. 

The Yonkers Detachment also functioned under the 
Port of Embarkation of the U.S. Army. The first trans- 
portation of wounded soldiers took place while the De- 
tachment was stationed at General Hospital No. i. Gun 
Hill. From October, 1918, until August 1918, itwas busy 
attending to port calls. Patients were carried to General 
Hospital No. i, Greenhuts, Debarkation 3, Grand Cen- 
tral Palace, Debarkation 5, Polychnic, Camp Merritt, 
Messiah Home and General Hospital No. 38 at Eastview. 
Yonkers also assisted in the transfer of patients from the 
Tarrytown railroad station to Eastview, as well as in the 
evacuation of Eastview. Many patients were transferred 
from one hospital to another. 

Over 1,200 patients were carried to or from hospitals. 
This does not include the influenza patients, or recreation 
and parade work. The total mileage made by the Corps 
cars is over 30,000. 

The Westchester County Motor Corps went upon the 
reserve list September 15, 1919. The equipment of the 
Corps was disposed of as follows. The Hillview Auxiliary 
ambulance was sold June, 1919. Two hundred dollars of 
the proceeds was given to the Yonkers Branch of the 
Red Cross. The balance was used for equipment. The 
Elks ambulance, which was converted into a touring car 
in April, 1919, the body having been given by the At- 
lantic Division, was presented to the Home Service Sec- 
tion of the Westchester County Red Cross to be used in 
the Yonkers District. The Ford station wagon bought 
by private subscription, was given to the Yonkers Branch, 
and the Cadillac was returned to Mrs. Butler. 



PART IV 



YONKERS CHURCHES IN WAR WORK 



THE CHURCHES OF YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 

FROM the spirit that the churches instilled into the hearts of the men and women of Yonkers, came into being 
legions of Soldiers for the Right, men who went out to fight and women who placed their hearts and hands into 
the great services of the war. 

God is very closely woven into the hearts of men and women whose lot is cast for battle. The soldier in the fierce 
heat of conflict, imminently facing death, and the prospect of meeting his maker, looks to God for hope, and the sign 
of success. Faith, then, meets one of its greatert tests. To God's agencies here on earth is confided part of the task 
of keeping that faith intact. 

During the dark days of war, Yonkers churches of all creeds and denominations kept alive in the hearts of its 
citizens, that spiritual attitude which looked to the Creator for aid, and to Him for Victory for the Right. 

The men who were unable to go to the battlefields participated with all their hearts in the war work at home. 
They led the great drives that furnished the resources of war, and they became hosts to the service men training at 
Yonkers. The women of the churches formed au.xiliaries within the church congregations, which worked hand in 
hand with the relief and war work agencies in the city. The city's ministers, almost in a solid body, became Four 
Minute Speakers who spread Democracy's doctrine far and wide from every city rostrum. 

When the Victors returned, there was rejoicing in church, chapel and synagogue. Wherever Yonkers men gath- 
ered to worship God, there were prayers of Thanksgiving heard. Dignified tablets of bronze installed on the walls of 
most of the Yonkers churches, reflect the gratitude and reverence of fellow-worshippers for those who were chosen as 
the instruments of Victory. And stars of gold adorn the names of those who went, and returned, not to earth, but to 
Heaven. 



BAPTIST CHURCH OF THE 
REDEEMER 

The church flag bears thirty-eight stars, representing 
soldiers, sailors and several Red Cross nurses and 
Y. M. C. A. workers. 

A war service committee of eight men and women of 
the congregation had charge of all war work of the church. 
This committee was assisted in the drives by a special 
Liberty Loan Committee, and also by its pastor, who 
was one of the Four Minute Men. 

The women sewed and prepared bandages and surgical 
dressings in the church parlors, or at Manor Hall. Two 
of the women regularly assisted in packing Red Cross 
supphes for overseas. 

As the church is located but a short distance from 
Van Cortlandt Park, where for some time there was an 
army camp and drill field, many men in uniform found 
their way to Sunday Services. These were afterward 
entertained at dinner in the homes of church famiHes. 
Motherly women, an.\ious still further to extend their 
hospitahty, sent all manner of table delicacies to neigh- 
boring camps and canteens. 

Thus, wherever opportunity offered, the material and 
spiritual resources of the church were used freely to 



promote the well-being of those in service, and to render 
devoted and patriotic ser\ace to the nation. 

BRYN MAWR PARK PRESBYTERIAN 
CHURCH 

Pastor: The Rev. A. Raymond Eckels 

Bryn Mawr Park Presbyterian Church, in common 
with all the other churches of Yonkers, took a definite 
patriotic stand throughout the war. 

Twenty-six young men went into the service from the 
church, and two died while serving their country, one 
on the field of battle in France. 

The women of the church were active in Red Cross 
work. 

The pastor served in the Y. M. C. A., in camps, and 
in France, while Mrs. Eckels assisted in the war work 
of the Y. W. C. A. 

CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH 

Pastor: John Henhy Day 

Calvary Baptist Church is young in years, and its 

membership is small, but from the time that war was 

declared, to the day of the armistice, its activities were 

devoted without stint to the nation's cause.

YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



The service flag of the church bears twelve stars. 
Eight young men saw service overseas. Three won 
commissions, and three, including the former pastor, 
were in Y. M. C. A. service in France. 

In April, 1918, the Women's Society of the church 
began the work of preparing hospital supplies. The 
records of the society tell the tale of untiring faithfulness 
in this service of practical helpfulness throughout the war. 

Meetings in the interest of the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., 
Salvation Army, United War Work, Liberty Loans and 
War Savings Stamps campaigns were held in the church, 
and to these the parishioners gave and subscribed gen- 
erously. 

The pastor served as a Four Minute Man, as a speaker 
for the Y. M. C. A., to soldiers and sailors at their posts 
in the vicinity, and also, under leave of absence granted 
by the church, acted as Director of Rehgious Work for 
the Y. M. C. A. at Camp Dix, New Jersey. 

CENTRAL METHODIST EPISCOPAL 

CHURCH 

Pastor: The Rev. M. Wilson 

When the call for service came. Central M. E. Church 
threw itself whole-heartedly into the struggle. Sixty- 
three of her finest young men saw service. Four paid 
the supreme price, giving their hves that their country 
might endure. 

One of the young women of the church saw service 
as a hospital nurse. The pastor himself was released 
from his duties in the church, that he might serve over- 
seas. He spent six months in Y. M. C. A. work. One 
other church member went into this service also. 

The women at home organized a unit of the Westchester 
Chapter of the Red Cross: and from June, 1917, until 
the demand for their service ceased, they gave their 
whole-souled devotion to this work. They made over 
two thousand hospital garments. During the influenza 
epidemic they provided handkerchiefs and bedroom 
sUppers for the soldiers quartered in the armory. 

At Christmas, there were sent to all men in service, 
boxes of goodies. Fifteen hundred dollars was raised for 
Red Cross work by the women. 

The men forced to remain at home entered with great 
spirit into all of the drives, and helped entertain the men 
in service who found their way into contact with the 
church. The men of Central Brotherhood, on a number 
of occasions, entertained service men in the church par- 
lors. Besides this they acted as hosts to a dozen or more 
service men every Sunday. 

DAYSPRING PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 

Pastor: The Rev. William Crawford 

Before war with Germany had been declared, two 
young men of the church, who were brothers, crossed 



the sea to England, and joined the British forces. Both 
saw hard service and one of them paid with his life for 
the cause of humanity. 

An indication of the spirit of the church is that every 
man volunteered for service. Fifty of her young men 
donned the uniform. They were in all branches of mili- 
tary endeavor. One had the thrilling experience of being 
aboard the Mount Vernon when she was torpedoed. One 
received a decoration for bravery from the hands of the 
King of England. Another received a citation and a 
decoration from the ItaUan government for the share 
he had in the naval battle of Derazzo, while he was 
serving on the sub-chaser No. 115. This was the only 
officially recorded naval battle in which the United 
States participated during the war. 

One of the women of the congregation was a Red Cross 
nurse in the emergency hospitals overseas. Before the 
United States had entered the war, and long afterward, 
the ladies of Kings Daughters, the Missionary Society 
and Christian Endeavor met day after day, and cease- 
lessly sewed, knitted and cooked for the boys in service. 

The pastor was a Four Minute speaker. The War 
Work Committee, composed of members of all the church 
branches, collected $240 for the Red Cross, sold $3,800 
worth of Liberty bonds, and raised about $300 for the 
United War Work Drive, despite the fact that many of 
the members of the congregation had already subscribed 
for these various causes through other channels. The 
Athletic Club, composed of men too young for service, 
bought two Liberty bonds and presented them to the 
church trustees. 

When the service men came home, they received a 
royal welcome, and a supper was tendered them at which 
each one was presented with a framed certificate suitably 
engraved, stating that they had participated in the 
World War. 

There are fifty-eight stars on the Church Honor Roll, 
and one gold star. 

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 

Pastor: The Rev. Wendell Prime Keeler 

Two members of the First Presbyterian Church had 
already given their lives for the Allied cause on the field 
of battle before the United States entered the war. They 
were volunteers in the British Army. One was killed 
in the Battle of the Somme, and the other in the second 
Battle of Ypres. Their voluntary interest was indicative 
of the keen loyalty manifested by members of this church 
from the beginning of the war. 

When America entered the war, 115 men volunteered 
for service. Five others went overseas, three as 
Y. M. C. A. hut-workers, and two as Red Cross nurses. 

Nine service men made the supreme sacrifice, all killed 
in action or dying as the result of wounds. Fifty men 
of the congregation won commissions, so that at the 



YONKERS CHURCHES IN WAR WORK 



55 



close of the war, the church Honor Roll included one 
Colonel, six Majors, twelve Captains, twenty-five Lieu- 
tenants and six Ensigns. Six men were honored by 
French citations for valor, and six others received United 
States citations for distinguished service. 

Meanwhile, those who remained at home were show- 
ing an equal patriotism. The women of the church or- 
ganized a Red Cross unit early in the year. Sewing 
meetings were held at least twice weekly for two 
years, and immense quantities of materials were turned 
out. 

The Men's Association appointed a committee on 
patriotic service which led and inspired the church in 
various forms of war work, being active in all of the 
war drives. The committee also arranged during several 
months to bring soldiers in automobiles from near-by 
camps and training schools to the Sunday morn- 
ing service, after which they were entertained by 
church families at dinner, and given a pleasant home 
Sunday. 

In the summer of 1918, 250 soldiers stationed at 
Yonkers for special technical training were quartered in 
the armory. This gave the church its opportunity for a 
more intimate kind of service. The social rooms of the 
church were fitted up as club rooms, with billiard and 
pool tables. Writing equipment, books, games and a vic- 
trola were placed in a large, attractively furnished room, 
and the men were invited to make the freest possible use 
of it. This they did, at an average of about fifty men 
an afternoon. 

A committee of men and women of the church was 
present each evening to add to the sociability of the 
rooms, and at least once a week, refreshments were 
served. On special occasions, more elaborate entertain- 
ments for as many as 200 men were provided. A Soldiers' 
Bible Class was formed. 

The church service flag, with its 120 white stars, and 
its nine gold stars, has been permanently installed in an 
honored place on the wall of the church, and a memorial 
tablet has been placed in the church vestibule. 

ENGLISH LUTHERAN CHURCH OF 
THE REDEEMER 

Nineteen of the members of this church were enlisted 
in the ranks of the army and navy. Of these, fourteen 
saw active service in France, and four were wounded in 
action. Six received commissions, one was in the air 
service, and two were in the S. A. T. C. The pastor of 
the church enlisted as a chaplain, and continued in the 
regular army after the war had ended. 

The women of the church organized a chapter of the 
Red Cross and assisted at Headquarters, turning out 
many pieces of clothing and surgical dressings. The 
young people of the Sunday School collected funds to 
buy a Liberty bond of the Third Loan. 



The men took part in the various drives, and kept 
contact with those who went to war. Each one who 
was away was kept supplied with comforts, and was 
sent a gift box at Christmas.. 

The Young People's Organization prepared a suitable 
honor roll and a service flag, which has been hung in the 
meeting room of the church. Various patriotic services 
were held at the request of the war-time organizations. 

A fitting welcome at a public service was extended 
the service men at their return. 

FIRST METHODIST EPISCOPAL 
CHURCH 

Pastor: Lewis E. Christian 

From the beginning of the war, this church evinced 
a keen interest in every phase of war work. The chal- 
lenge and the joy of the congregation were enhstment, if 
not in the main departments of service, in the various 
branches carried on at home. 

The honor roll numbered twenty-six, with one gold 
star. One of the young women of the church, as a 
Y. M. C. A. worker, achieved unusual success in work 
among the coolie laborers of wartime France. One serv- 
ice man received decorations from both the United 
States and French governments, winning a Croix de 
Guerre. 

The Social Hall of the church was fitted up as a club 
room for soldiers stationed in the armory. Books, games, 
a phonograph and writing tables were supplied. Mem- 
bers of the congregation were in constant attendance. 
On special occasions, entertainments were given, and 
refreshments were served. Many of the men were en- 
tertained in the homes of church members. 

Red Cross meetings were held in the church one day 
a week, and sewing was done for military hospitals and 
also for refugees. When the coal shortage compelled 
the curtailing of the meetings in the church, two homes 
were opened and the work continued there. 

At Christmas, each year, stockings were filled for the 
children of soldiers. Sbc of the women qualified as di- 
rectresses of surgical dressings, and four of them were 
on active duty until Manor Hall closed its doors to this 
work. The Women's Society of the church was among 
the first to form an evening class in the making of sur- 
gical dressings. Several of the women worked in the 
Red Cross Lunch Room, and others assisted at canteens. 
The women of the church auxiUary assisted in the rec- 
lamation work at School No. 6. The church was well 
represented at the collection centre, when the time came 
to send Christmas boxes to the men overseas. 

One of the men in the congregation served as Chair- 
man of the Committee on Military ReHef from June, 
191 7, until the close of the war; as Chairman of the 
Committee for the Collection of Nuts and Pits (used 
in chemical warfare service throughout a district com- 



56 



YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



prising several counties); as Chairman of the Committee 
for the Relief of Indigent Soldiers and Sailors; and as 
County Chairman of Reclamation Work. 

FIRST UNITARIAN CONGREGATIONAL 
CHURCH 

As SOON as our country entered the war, the First 
Unitarian Church responded to the fuU measure of its 
ability. Eight young men of the congregation, practically 
all that were eligible, entered the various branches of 
the service, and a large proportion went overseas. The 
roll includes one major, one captain and one heutenant. 
The last named lost his life in battle in France. 

Throughout the war, several of the young women of 
the church were in Motor Corps and Red Cross work, 
distinguishing themselves by their services. The women 
met weekly at the church, and turned out large quanti- 
ties of clothing. 

A memorial tablet to the service men has been installed 
in the vestibule of the church. 



MESSIAH BAPTIST CHURCH 

Pastor: The Rev. S. W. Smith 

The Messiah Baptist Chusch gave to the country's 
service in the late war, twenty-four boys, all willing and 
ready to defend its honor. The young men returned 
safely, except one who died on the way overseas. One 
was wounded severely, being distinguished for his acts 
of valor and deeds of bravery. 

The church gave two splendid women to the service. 
Mrs. Emily Brown had charge of the Hostess House at 
Camp Upton, and later at Camp Dix, and Miss Clarissa 
Gwathmey served at Camp Sherman, Ohio, as assistant 
staff member and cashier in the Y. W. C. A. War Council. 

While the young men were away, those left were hold- 
ing the ropes. Mrs. Mary Howard, at the solicitation 
of the pastor, organized the 3 2d unit of the Welfare 
League. This organization was particularly concerned 
with the 367th Infantry. It assisted in the maintenance 
of the Soldiers' Home, and raised $100 for an auditorium 
at Camp Upton. 

Magazines were sent to camps, and amounts of money 
were assigned to famihes of soldiers. The Girls' Squad 
No. I made trench candles and knitted sweaters and 
socks. The Good Cheer Committee sent letters to 
wounded and homesick soldiers. The Comfort Kit 
Committee furnished kits to the second and third 
draft contingents from Yonkers. The unit sent fruits, 
candies, jellies and smokes to the Haywood Canteen and 
the Base Hospital, and gave Hberally toward the Christ- 
mas Tree Fund. 

The church is the proud possessor of a splendid service 
flag containing twenty-four stars, presented by the girls. 



MORSEMERE M. E. CHURCH 

Pastor: Rev. J. W. Johnston 

The Morsemere Methodist Episcopal Chusch sent 
ten young men into the country's service. Practically 
all branches of the service were represented, and one 
man saw action in Siberia with the Canadian forces. 
All returned safely. 

The women of the church enthusiastically attended 
two first aid classes which were established for their 
benefit. The Ladies' Aid Society made hospital gar- 
ments for the Red Cross, while the young people enacted 
a play for the Red Cross' benefit. 

War drives and subscription campaigns found the 
members of the church always putting forth their best 
efforts. 

PARK HILL REFORMED CHURCH 

Pastor: Rev. A. I. Mann 

The Park Hill Reformed Church was from the 
first unhesitating in her loyalty to and enthusiasm for 
God and country, in the supreme call which the war 
presented. 

Forty-three of her men were enrolled in the military 
service. Three died on the battlefield, and when the 
sad news of their death came, the entire congregation 
joined in a solemn memorial service held in the church 
auditorium. The church further honored her brave sons 
by placing upon the wall a beautiful service flag with 
white stars for service, and gold ones for supreme sacrifice. 

Those of the church who were destined to stay at home, 
also made their sacrifices. Committees were appointed 
from the consistory and the Men's Association, to keep 
in touch with service men. Every appeal from the war 
organizations met with hberal response from the con- 
gregation. 

The women of the church were exceedingly occupied 
aU through the war. One was a member of the first 
war work committee called by the Mayor. Some gath- 
ered from week to week in the various homes, to sew 
and knit, before there was any organized effort in that 
direction. Later, they, with others, became known as 
the Unity Circle of the Red Cross. Unity Circle met 
once a week, at first in the church, and later in the Red 
Cross Headquarters near Manor House Square. 

The Motor Corps, too, drew some of its membership 
from Park Hill Reformed Church. The Kings Daughters 
Society gave its services to the Red Cross in a body 
during wartime. 

The Young Women's Aiixiliary excelled in sewing 
articles for the refugees of the war-stricken areas. It was 
due to the efforts of the Auxihary that a subscription 
was begun, the proceeds of which purchased a bronze 
memorial tablet for the vestibule of the church. This 
tablet was unveiled at a ceremony on Memorial Day, 1920. 



YONKERS CHURCHES IN WAR WORK 



57 



SACRED HEART CHURCH 

Rev. John O'Donovan, Rector 

The Sacred Heart Church and the church societies 
worked for the success of war activities with motives 
described by the pastor as "motives higher than those 
of personal gratification." 

The members of the church contributed $1,400 to 
one of the Knights of Columbus drives to reHeve the 
wants of soldiers. 

The knitting society sent eighteen trunks of stockings, 
sweaters and other comforts to various camps. These 
were valued at $150 each. The church also gave $125 
worth of Unens and towels to the Red Cross. 

SOUTH YONKERS PRESBYTERIAN 
CHURCH 

Pastor: Rev. A. M. Porter 

Here we have the story of a pastor who preached so 
well, that he preached himself out of a congregation. 
The Rev. A. M. Porter was actively engaged in all kinds 
of home service from the very inception of the war. He 
was pastor of one of the very largest churches in Halifax, 
Canada, when war was first declared. There he was a 
prime factor in urging men to enlist. So many went 
that his congregation was very much depleted. The 
pastor then resigned in order to make possible a 
union of his congregation with another in the same 
city. 

When he became pastor of South Yonkers Presbyterian, 
he carried with him his old enthusiasm, and encouraged 
and aided his congregation to further the success of 
American arms in every way. 

Twenty-six men of the church enUsted in various 
branches of the service, so that when the draft came, 
there was none left to be drafted. A number were 
wounded and gassed, but all returned home safely. Two 
young women served in the Ambulance Corps, and a 
third went into Y. M. C. A. work overseas. 

As early as 1915, before the country entered the war, 
a number of women of the South Yonkers Presbyterian 
Church were actively engaged in war reUef work. Some 
attended meetings of British Societies, where bandages 
were rolled, knitting done, and hospital garments made. 

A group under the leadership of one of the church 
members became afiiliated with the National Surgical 
Dressings Committee of New York, and thousands of 
dressings were shipped monthly. A few months after 
the United States entered the war, another group of 
workers, composed of mothers whose sons had enlisted, 
met each Wednesday at the home of the leader to make 
hospital suppUes. The women soon realized that one 
day a week was not enough to carry on their increasing 
work, so the King's Daughters and the girls and boys 
from the Sunday School joined in the work. 



The Red Cross Unit met at church each Tuesday to 
sew garments. 

A bronze tablet and Honor RoU has been placed in 
the church auditorium, a memorial of the noble deeds 
and heroic service of her gallant men and boys. 

SAINT ANDREWS MEMORIAL CHURCH 

Rev. Frances T. Brown, Rector 

Saint Andrews Memorial Church sent 142 of her 
sons and daughters to war. A high percentage volun- 
teered at the outbreak of hostihties. Seventy-one be- 
came officers; seventeen were wounded or gassed. Three 
were among the survivors of the President Lincoln. 
One was a survivor of the U.S.S. California. One was 
cited, winning the Croix de Guerre with a silver star. 
Another winner of the Croix de Guerre was cited at 
Verdun and the Somme. Five men were killed in action 
or died of wounds. 

The first Yonkers officer killed in action was on St. 
Andrews Honor Roll. He was Lieutenant Wikner K. 
Bodenstab, who fell at the head of his men in the storm- 
ing of Cantigny by the 27 th Division. Two months 
later, his closest chum. Lieutenant Otis B. Thomas, who 
had been his colleague in St. Andrews Young Men's 
Civic League, lost his life, and in their honor the Boden- 
stab-Thomas Post of the American Legion has been 
named. 

The St. Andrews service flag was dedicated together 
with an engrossed Honor Roll at a special service in the 
church on February 10, 1918. The address was given by 
the Hon. Charles S. Whitman, Governor of New York. 
The permanent Honor Roll, a beautiful bronze tablet, 
was dedicated Easter Sunday, 1920. The tablet is the 
gift of St. Andrews Red Cross Auxiliary, whose devoted 
work throughout the war, summer and winter, expressed 
the loyalty that pervaded the church. 

In every way that loyalty was evinced. The women 
of the church were engaged in all forms of war activity, 
including Motor Corps service. The men held frequent 
patriotic forums, and they were well represented in the 
South Yonkers Home Guard. The parishioners joined 
from time to time in bringing men from the various 
camps to church service, and taking them afterwards to 
their homes. Like hospitality was extended on holiday 
occasions to numbers of service men designated by the 
War Camp Community Service in New York. 

The rector took part in the various Liberty Loan and 
war drives, sending out many letters and speaking on 
pubhc occasions. Great response was his reward. Special 
patriotic services were arranged in accordance with every 
request of the government. The colors of the Alhes, to- 
gether with the Stars and Stripes, were frequently dis- 
played in the church, and hung from the tower, while the 
great events and celebrations of the war were marked by 
the ringing from St. Andrews chimes of our patriotic airs 



58 



YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



and hymns. To many a home in South Yonkers, these 
chimes brought the first news of ended hostihties, and 
their music voiced the heart of the community in a dox- 
ology to the Giver of Victory and Peace. 

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH 

Rev. John Mask Ericcson, Rector 

The spirit in which St. John's Church entered the war 
on Good Friday, 191 7, is crystallized in the message of 
its pastor on the eve of Holy Week in 191 7, while the 
entrance of the United States into the World War was 
still hanging in the balance. In part of that message 
he said: 

Never before, in our experience at least, has the world 
struggle between the powers of light and darkness, of 
death and resurrection taken on so definite and menacing 
a form as to-day. If we believe in the Captain of our 
Salvation as the Prince of Peace, whose life and death 
were given to guide our steps in the way of righteousness 
and peace (and since we have seen that that way lay 
along a life of service and self-denial, and finally along 
the Via Dolorosa), we can not turn away now without a 
conscious refusal to follow where he has led the way." 

There were no divided counsels in the hearts and 
minds of the parish. The nation's flag, and with it, the 
flags of the Alhes were installed in the forefront of the 
worshipping congregation, and became thenceforth the 
visible symbol of the day's work and devotion. 

The parish gave 164 members to the service, mostly 
volunteers who had long waited for the opportunity. 
One-fourth of the list won commissions. These included 
one colonel, three majors, eight captains and sixteen 
lieutenants. Citations, distinguished service badges, and 
other high honors spell their records. 

The work of the Red Cross enlisted the active coop- 
eration of practically all the working forces of the various 
societies for women and girls. Probably not less than a 
thousand members were engaged in some sort of war 
service. 

The Parish House and grounds, centrally located on 
Getty Square, were at the service of recruiting and the 
war drives committees. Suppers were served to near-by 
groups of service men. 

Public services on Sundays, holy days and special 
occasions were made to respond on the note with which 
we entered the war. When cunning propaganda was at 
work sowing the seed of suspicion and discontent among 
the Allies, speakers were introduced who would counter- 
act this influence. Sometimes this ran counter to the 
customary use of the pulpit in this church, but it was 
recognized that the nation was at war, and special 
emergencies required special treatment. 

Thus the pulpit was sometimes occupied by laymen 
and soldiers, as, for instance, when a notable address was 
made by J. Milton State, a Canadian Army recruiting 



ofiicer. Disquieting rumors were at one time rife con- 
cerning the revolt of India, reflecting on the character 
of our aUy, Great Britain. Mr. Rustum Rustumgee, 
well-known publicist and editor of Bombay, India, a 
Parsee, gave a splendid refutation of this error. 

SAINT PAUL'S CHURCH 
Rev. Dr. William M. Gilbert 

Fifty-seven men of the church were in war service, 
and three gave their Uves. 

The women were very active in reUef work during the 
war, both in the Saint Paul's branch of the Red Cross 
and in the various civic organizations. 

The church contributed hberaUy to the numerous de- 
mands made by the nation for funds for active service. 

SAINT PETER'S 

Rev. James J. Brown 

St. Peter's Branch of the Red Cross did sewing and 
bandage work. The women of St. Peter's also assisted 
in canteen work at Yonkers and Pelham Bay. 

ST. JOSEPH'S ROMAN CATHOLIC 
CHURCH 

St. Joseph's Church had 450 men in the military serv- 
ice. Fifteen of these died in the service, in battle, from 
wounds, and other causes. Six received wounds in action. 

The church gave rooms and working quarters to St. 
Camilla's Branch of the Red Cross. Fifty-five women 
of the parish were employed in the philanthropic work 
of knitting and sewing all kinds of soldier comforts. 

The church participated actively in all local drives 
and rallies. Over $20,000 was raised in one week for the 
Knights of Columbus War Work. 

The church hall was always given for all kinds of pa- 
triotic meetings and rallies. Prayers were offered at all 
masses, for the success of American arms and a just peace. 

SAINT MARY'S 

T. J. Murphy, Rector 

"We kept no record of our various activities during 
the war," says the report sent to the Memorial Volume 
by this church. "We just jumped in and did our best, 
and forgot about it." 

TEMPLE EMANU-EL

Besides contributing to the Ufe-blood of the war, the 
congregation of Temple Emanu-El headed every call 
for economy and conservation. Several members served 
on the Selective Instruction Board. The president of

the temple in September, 1918, offered his services to the 
United States Food Administration at Washington. They 
were eagerly accepted. 

As a tribute to the work done for the Red Cross by 
Temple Emanu-El, its president was appointed a member- 
at-large of the Executive Committee of the Yonkers 
Branch. Troop 15, Boy Scouts, of the temple always 
played a prominent part in drives and meetings. 

The woman's association of the temple, the Emanu-El 
Sisterhood, was one of the first women's organizations 
to pitch into Red Cross work, setting aside two days a 
week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, from ten in the morning 
until five in the afternoon. 

In the summer of 191 8, the Sisterhood gave a supper 
to the enhsted and drafted men. In November of the 
same year, the organization sent milk and eggs to service 
men convalescing from influenza. They also arranged 
functions to raise money for the various war raUies and 
drives. 

Committees were appointed to serve refreshments to 
the men at near-by hospitals, and when the war ceased, 
to welcome the return of the veterans. This latter com- 
mittee helped to rebuild Bryn Mawr canteen, which had 
been destroyed by fire. 

Unusual results attended the holding of the various 
Liberty Loan drives in the temple. On April 21, 1918, 
in the temple-auditorium, $260,000 worth of bonds for 
the Third Liberty Loan was sold in thirty minutes, more 
than any sum raised before that time in any single meet- 
ing in the city. 

With this remarkable record, when the Fourth Liberty 
Loan came, $315,000 was subscribed for in a temple 
meeting. The sum thus raised so stimulated the rest 
of the community that it brought the entire campaign 
to an early close. 

However, all records were broken in the Victory Loan. 
On April 27, 1919, a meeting at the temple yielded, amid 
the wildest enthusiasm, $510,000, bringing the drive to 
a close in ten days, instead of two weeks. 

Fifteen men of Temple Emanu-El saw miUtary service. 

A word must be said in praise of the work and leader- 
ship of the temple rabbi, Dr. Gabriel Schulman. He 
was the inspirer of many noble deeds, and himself gave 
freely of his time and energy in welfare work at the 
State MiUtary Training Camp at Peekskill, and at the 
Gun Hill Base Hospital. 

WARBURTON AVENUE BAPTIST 
CHURCH 

Rev. Joel Byeon Slocum, D.D. 

DxnoNG the period of the war, the Warburton Avenue 
Baptist Church made enthusiastic efforts to assist the 
government. 

The service flag that hung above the portal of the 
church during the war, contained fifty-seven stars, one 



of which gained a distinguished service medal, and two 
of which turned golden. 

The Red Cross Auxihary of the Woman's Guild en- 
hsted the services of a large number of women of the 
congregation, who met each week in the church for 
sewing, and twice each week at the Manor House for 
the preparation of surgical dressings. Their devoted 
efforts, through the entire period of the war, resulted in 
the contributions of many articles, such as pajamas, 
sweaters, socks, wristlets, helmets, comfort kits, Testa- 
ments (given by the Bible school) and other comforts. 

The pastor gave unsparingly of his time and strength 
to the great cause, through the regular appointments of 
the church in all its departments. He deUvered numer- 
ous patriotic sermons and special addresses within and 
without the parish. He wrote personal letters to those 
at the front and in camps. He made pubhc appeals 
through the press, and used his personal influence during 
the Liberty Loan drives. In all this, he was heartily 
supported by his loyal congregation. 

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH OF 
YONKERS IN THE WORLD'S WAR 

The Roman Catholic Church of Yonkers is composed 
of fifteen parishes, comprising among its members about 
fifty per cent of the population of the city. Naturally, 
the RoU of Honor of the CathoHc parishes contains the 
names of thousands of men who served in the world war. 

The Roman CathoUc Church was called upon early in 
the war to raise a special- fund for war purposes. Arch- 
bishop Patrick J. Hayes of New York asked for two and 
half milHon dollars from the archdiocese. The Cathohc 
parishes of Yonkers were asked to subscribe $82,000. 
So splendidly did the parishioners of the various churches 
respond, that double the amount asked for from the 
fifteen parishes was subscribed and five million dollars 
was raised in the archdiocese. 

In every effort, whether to raise funds for Red Cross, 
or other war activities or for the sale of Liberty bonds, 
the Cathohc Church did its full share willingly and en- 
thusiastically. The parish priests and assistants were 
always found leading in the patriotic work of the parishes. 
It is worthy of note that in one of the parishes of the city, 
in one of the drives to sell Liberty bonds, every famOy 
in the parish without exception purchased one or more 
bonds. 

No other agency in Yonkers worked more earnestly 
or produced greater results than the work done during 
the entire war by the fifteen Catholic churches of the city. 

The churches with their pastors, are as follows: 

Church of the Immaculate Conception, Rev. Charles T. 

Murphy. 
St. Joseph's, Rev. Charles F. Reed 
St. Peter's, Rev. James J. Brown 
Church of the Sacred Heart, Rev. John O'Donovan

St. Bartholomew's Church, Rev. James F. McNamara 

St. Casimir's Church, Rev. C. Dwarsak 

St. Denis Church, Rev. Richard Ormond Hughes 

Church of the Holy Eucharist, Rev. J. R. Halpin 

Each of the parishes responded to the call of the nation 
for men, for money and for workers in every hne. Twelve 
priests from Yonkers were among those who served in 
the armies of the nation, many students of Dunwoodie 
Seminary and several Christian brothers teaching in the 
parochial schools erJisted in the United States Army. The 
attitude of the priests and church generally was best 



expressed by the statement made by the pastor of one of 
the Catholic churches, who, when asked for a report of 
the activities of his parish, for the History of Yonkers 
in the World War, made the following answer: 

"We did our best when the war was on and tried our 
best to forget it when the war was over." 

It would not be possible to pick out any parish or 
parish priest who was more conspicuous than the others 
for special service during the war. From every altar and 
pulpit and from the pubhc platforms and before the 
parish associations from the beginning of the war to its 
end, the priests of Yonkers, the curates and assistants did 
everything that lay in their power to support the war and 
to stir up their people to greater patriotism, to more 
enthusiastic subscription to loans and to war work 
generally. 

In short, the Roman Catholic Church of Yonkers did 
its full duty to the Flag and the Nation and its services 
will not be forgotten. 



PART V 

YONKERS INDUSTRIES AND THE WAR 



INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES OF YONKERS 
DURING THE WAR 

PLANTS LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY TURNED OUT A GREAT VARIETY AND QUANTITY 

OF PRODUCTS 

AMONG the materials manufactured for the government during the war by Yonkers industrial plants, were 
great quantities of sugar, gun parts, war machinery, tent cloth, blankets, and service hats. The manufactur- 
ing plants of the city, large and small, entered enthusiastically into war production. Employees in various 
factories organized welfare organizations and Americanization classes, while the women employees in most cases 
formed organizations which worked as units of the Red Cross, or of other relief bodies, in the turning out of hospital 
accessories. 

In all of the parades, rallies and drives, the industrial element of Yonkers held up its end nobly, many industrial 
institutions boasting loo per cent in Liberty Bond subscriptions among the employees. Following are detailed accounts 
of the activities of some of the major industries of the City of Yonkers during the World War. 



FEDERAL SUGAR REFINERY KEEPS 

ALLIES' SUGAR BOWLS 

FILLED 

SPEEDS UP PRODUCTION TO SUPPLY UNITED STATES 
AND ALLIED MILITARY FORCES AS WELL 

During the war, the Federal Sugar Refining Company 
was called upon to speed up production to help make 
up for the sugar shortage in Europe, caused by the stop- 
page of production consequent to warfare. 

The refinery was run at top speed to supply the army 
and navy, as well as the Allies, with the sugar they re- 
quired. Ships were loaded at the refinery with refined 
sugar, which was sent every week to Europe with con- 
voys. The management and the employees cooper- 
ated in every way to do their share in meeting the 
emergency. 

The Federal Sugar Company's employees made a 
splendid showing in the Liberty and Victory Loan drives 
One hundred per cent of the employees subscribed to 
each loan. The various Yonkers drives met with a ready 
and enthusiastic response, the organization being each 
time among the first to report loo per cent sub- 
scriptions. The employees always participated in the 
parades held to stimulate war work, with a splendid spirit 
of patriotism. 

Many employees served in the United States forces. 
One of the Federal men was among the sailors saved 
from the President Lincoln, when she was torpedoed by 
a German submarine. 



OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANY 

TURNS OUT THOUSANDS OF BIG GUN PARTS DURING THE 
WAR. lOO GIRL EMPLOYEES IN AUXILIARY WAR WORK. 
450 EMPLOYEES LN THE SERVICE. ALL OBTAINED SAME 
OR BETTER JOBS BACK. 

Upon the entry of this country into the World War, 
the officers of the Otis Elevator Company placed at the 
disposal of the government the entire engineering and 
manufacturing facilities of the company. Throughout 
the war period, the plants of the company were operated 
almost exclusively on war work, either on direct war ma- 
terial for army and navy, or on elevator equipment for 
army and navy bases in various sections of rhe country. 

Among some of the most important orders were the 
following: 185 heavy duty electric freight elevators for 
service in U.S. army and navy bases at Brooklyn, Phil- 
adelphia and Boston. The installation of operatorless 
freight elevators, in the Brooklyn Army Base, was the 
first of its kind ever attempted, and made possible the 
economical handling and storing of vast amounts of sup- 
plies that passed through the various warehouses of the 
base during the war. 

Several hundred steam steering engines, and steam 
windlasses were manufactured for the navy and the 
Shipping Board. Electric motors and controllers were 
furnished in vast numbers for the large marine cranes 
in the shipyards on the Atlantic coast. Two thousand 
towing socket equipments for the Navy Department mine 
sweepers were manufactured early during the war period.

YONKERS IN THE WORLD WAR 



The machine tool facilities of the Otis Elevator Com- 
pany were used for the manufacture of large boring bars 
for big guns being constructed at the government ar- 
senals, and for lead screws for heavy gun lathes. These 
latter were six inches in diameter, and from forty to ninety 
feet long, made to very exact specifications. 

Several thousand sets of elevating and traversing 
worms and gears were manufactured for 155 mm. how- 
itzers and field pieces used by our artillery in France. 

The greatest task undertaken by the Otis Elevator 
Company during the war, and generally regarded as 
the most difficult assigned to any American manufac- 
turer, was the making of the recoil mechanisms for the 
240 mm. French howitzers, of which more than 1,000 
were needed. Here it was necessary for the company 
to rearrange its plants, and to provide wholly new equip- 
ment, the larger proportion of which had to be invented, 
designed, and built as the work progressed. The company 
successfully overcame all difficulties. When the armi- 
stice was signed, at least 75 per cent of the personnel of 
the company was engaged on this work. Many of the 
methods worked out and developed in connection with 
the manufacture of these parts have since been adopted 
by the government arsenals. 

The young women of the factory organized in April, 
191 7, an Otis Branch of the National Surgical Dressings 
Committee, which was later combined with the American 
Red Cross. About 100 young women gathered in the 
assembly hall of the factory two evenings each week until 
June, 1919, during which time they made over 40,000 
pieces of hospital supplies. This work was financed, and 
all supplies bought, by men employees of the factory. 

The workers of the Otis Plant responded 100 per cent 
strong to all drives and took a prominent part in sending 
the campaigns "over the top" in Yonkers. 

Four hundred fifty employees of the plant entered the 
mihtary service. Twelve made the supreme sacrifice. 
Each Otis employee in service received, no matter in 
what part of the world he was, a monthly news letter, 
edited by a committee of fellow workers at home, which 
gave all the news of the factory, and local activities in- 
teresting to him. Upon the return of the service men, 
they were given back their own, or better positions. 

NATIONAL SUGAR REFINING COMPANY 

SfflPS MILLIONS OF POUNDS OF SUGAR TO EUROPE. FAC- 
TORY PRACTICALLY GIVEN UP TO EXPORT PRODUCTION 
DURING WAR. COMPANY FURNISHED SEEDS, FERTILI- 
ZER, ETC., FOR employees' WAR GARDENS. 

When France, England and Italy went to war with 
Germany, they were more or less dependent on Germany 
for their sugar supply, and were therefore deprived of a 
necessary food item at the very start of their activities. 

The National Sugar Refining Company was immedi- 
ately called upon to help these countries, and responded 



by shipping millions of pounds of sugar each year. Ex- 
port orders to the Allies were always given preference. 
The factory was practically given over to the manufac- 
ture of sugar for e.xport to the Royal Commission on 
Sugar Supply, the Red Cross, various relief commissions, 
and colonial possessions. When our country entered 
the war, the Company took up all of the activities within 
its scope, supplying millions of pounds of sugar to the 
Army and Navy. 

Welfare work included English classes conducted in 
conjunction with the Y. M. C. A. Employees about to 
become citizens were helped by the Y. M. C. A. In- 
dustrial Department. The National Bugle, Fife and 
Drum Corps was formed, equipped and instructed by 
the company, and it assisted very creditably in the various 
parades and rallies. The corps has just gone through its 
first year of competition. It was entered in six contests. 
It won eight cups, the championship of New York State, 
and finished third in the national championships. 

At the call of our government for subscribers to the 
First Liberty Loan, 334 employees of the National Sugar 
Refinery subscribed for $22,750 of the bonds. At the 
time of the issue of the Second Loan, the Refinery was 
shut down, but fifty-five employees subscribed for $4,550. 
For the Third Loan, 617 employees subscribed $52,950, 
and for the Fourth Loan, 451 employees subscribed 
$35,100. When the Victory Loan drive was on, 434 
employees subscribed to $32,000. A total of $147,350 
was subscribed during the five drives. During this time, 
employees in large numbers bought War Savings Stamps 
through the Company every week. The employees are 
proud of three 100 per cent emblems that hang in the 
Company lunch room, those of the Third and Victory 
Loans, and of the National Red Cross drive of 1918, 
when employees contributed $2,857. 

In the spring of 191 7, employees were granted the use 
of about fifteen acres of land for war garden purposes, 
by the Rosenbaum Estate, located on McLean Avenue. 
From 1917 to 1920, about 125 Company employees 
worked plots 25 by 100 feet each. They were rewarded 
by a generous supply of fresh vegetables, and also saved 
that much food supply for the nation at large. Prepara- 
tion of ground, seeds, fertilizers, and the furnishing of a 
watchman were undertaken by the Refinery. 

Forty-six employees of the Company entered military 
service. 

ALEXANDER SMITH AND SONS 
CARPET COMPANY

BLANKETS DURING THE WAR. CARPET-WEAVING LOOMS 
TRANSFORMED INTO BLANKET AND DUCK LOOMS. MANY 
MANUFACTURING DIFFICULTIES OVERCOME. 

Shortly after war was declared in the spring of 191 7,

requested by the government to attempt the weaving 
of tent duck and blankets on its looms, which were made 
for carpet. The manufacture of satisfactory duck and 
blankets on carpet looms was regarded as an undertak- 
ing of great difficulty. By persistence and ingenuity, 
the obstacles were one by one overcome, and by the 
middle of June, 1917, the Company was hard at work 
on two orders; one for 180,000 yards of duck, and one 
for 100,000 ncLvy blankets. 

The Company offered to place all its resources at the 
disposal of the government, and as additional orders 
were received from the Army and Navy Departments, the 
Ordnance and Quartermaster Corps, the Red Cross and 
the Italian Government, it reduced its carpet and rug 
production nearly to the point of elimination, and ran 
the mills night and day on war work, 22 hours out of 
every 24. At the signing of the armistice, the 3,900 
employees had produced 4,500,000 yards of duck, and 
1,525,000 blankets. It was only through the whole- 
hearted cooperation between management and employees 
that this splendid record was achieved. 

The total number of employees in the service was 357, 
of whom four died for their country. 

D. SAUNDERS' SONS, Inc. 

StJPPLIES PIPE THREADING AND CUTTING MACHINERY AND 
ALL KINDS OF HAND TOOLS TO NAVY YARDS, ARSENALS, 
SHIPBUILDERS, AND GOVERNMENT CONTRACTORS. 

The output of this plant during the war was given 
over 99 per cent to government requirements, directly 
and indirectly. Machinery was built for the navy yards, 
arsenals, shipbuilding plants, and for contracting firms 
doing government work. Owing to this war work, the 
plant was at all times given a preferential classification 



which enabled it to obtain a good supply of coal and raw 
materials. 

The personnel of the plant was of high order, patriotic 
and true to the United States, and, with two exceptions, 
native-born. The men supported the Liberty Loans 
heartily, and the firm was represented on the Liberty 
Loan Committee. 

While most of the workers were over the military age, 
those who were younger responded to the call of the colors. 
They were given back their positions upon their return. 
Since the war, the Company has entered into an agree- 
ment with the government for vocational training of 
wounded soldiers in the plant. 

A MILLION AND A HALF SERVICE 
HATS 

MADE IN YONKERS BY THE WARING HAT CORPORATION, 
TO COVER THE HEADS OF AMERICAN SOLDIERS DURING 
THE WAR. 50 GIRL EMPLOYEES FORM RED CROSS UNIT 
. IN SPARE TIME. 

A MILLION and a haU service hats is the contribution 
of the Waring Hat Corporation to Yonkers war activity. 
The Corporation had 134 men in the service of whom 
three were killed in action. A total of $275,000 worth 
of Liberty Bonds was purchased, of which $50,000 was 
subscribed for by employees. A large amount of War 
Savings Stamps was also purchased. 

The girls of the factory organized a Red Cross Unit, 
and a room was set apart for their use. About fifty 
girls came back to the factory evenings, and worked on 
dresses and clothes for the younger children and babies 
of men away in the service. 

The Corporation was well represented in the various 
war and civic parades in Yonkers.

THE PERMANENT MEMORIAL OF THE 

HEROIC DEAD 

I^HE MAYOR'S HONOR ROLL COMMITTEE considered various projects for a permanent memorial of 
the citizens of Yonkers who gave their lives for their country during the war against Germany. A design 
by Isidore Konti of Yonkers was recommended by the Municipal Art Commission, approved by the Com- 
mittee and adopted by the Mayor and the City Council. 

The monument under construction at the time of the publication of this book, consists of a bronze tablet, bearing 
the names of a hundred and seventy-three of the Honor Roll of the Dead, and in front of the tablet, a figure, of heroic 
size, emblematic of immortal fame. The inscription on the base of the monument is: 



3n a^emorp 

OF THE 

SONS OF YONKERS WHO DIED IN THE WORLD WAR 



The monument is placed before the entrance to the City Hall, some feet away from, and elevated above the east- 
ern sidewalk of South Broadway, with steps from the walk to the broad platform in front of the monument. The 
situation is conspicuous, and an illumination is contemplated, so that the monument will be seen, day or night, by all 
who pass along the principal thoroughfare of Yonkers.

Hospital Unit B served in France at Base Hospital 
No. 23, Vittel, near Nancy, under command of Major 
Getty. During a year of service there the capacity of 
the Hospital increased from 500 to 3,750, and it was filled 
all the time with soldiers, soldiers the most patient, un- 
complaining sufferers ever witnessed, but most eager, as 
their wounds healed and strength returned, to go back to 
the Front. 

Hospital Unit B was organized in Westchester County, 
N. Y., with Dr. Samuel E. Getty as Director, under the 
auspices of the Westchester County Chapter of the Ameri- 
can Red Cross which defrayed all expenses of organi- 
zation, provided the complete equipment for a hospital 
of 250 beds and gave the officers and nurses the initial 
outfit of uniforms and field equipment. 



The splendid services rendered the A. E. F. by the 
Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., and kindred organizations is 
well recognized and needs no special comment. How- 
ever, to the Red Cross, this unit is especially indebted. 
It was this organization which provided comforts and 
wartime luxuries for the unit and patients which would, 
otherwise, have been unobtainable and which aided, 
not a Httle, in adding lustre to the rather enviable repu- 
tation which this center had succeeded in establishing in 
the advance section of the A. E. F. 

The following members of the staff of St. Johns River- 
side Hospital were with the colors:
